I'm glad you liked the post. Visual thinking of data at the meta level is extremely powerful. Its slightly different to visualizing to explain ideas but nevertheless extremely important especially in specific verticals. I like that philosophy - the more complex an issue, the more visual thinking helps. Thanks Patti and Lois. I’m glad you liked the post.

The more complex an issue, the more visual thinking helps. Yesterday during a meeting around a crisis situation we all felt handicapped because there was no white board and we couldn't "draw" and "see." There 's a good entry on Wikipedia about mind mapping, which sounds similar to Dan Roam's work. Look forward to reading the book. Lois Shiv,

I hadn't seen the book as yet, but I "get it." One of the things that I learned powerfully in my work with <a href="http://www.byeday.net/ona.htm" rel="nofollow">organizational network analysis</A> is that the visual impact of seeing disconnects, tight clusters, and overly central people tells a story that makes a big impact. And, I also learned over time that while the formal method (survey people to see who they talk to, use specialized software to analyze the data and draw pictures) has a place in organizational development, it's also quite possible for the back-of-the-napkin sketches to suffice. /patti Shiv, This is really good stuff.
