As regular readers of my blog know, I'm a big believer in using graphics, pictures and other types of images to explain complex problems. We've used graphic facilitation experts in the past and every time I see their output I'm amazed at their work, and then faced with the brutal reminder that I cannot draw. It's is truly overwhelming the amount of complex information you can represent using simple graphics. In many cases, these graphics have a greater impact on the consumer/reader of that information.
In my never-ending quest to find ways to visualize information, I turned to @Google Talk, this time with Dan Roam. Roam also wrote a book this, but I've not read it, so that's still sitting in a pile of guilt somewhere. But in the video, Roam provides a set of simple tools that anyone can use to draw complex information. Well worth the 55 minutes it runs.
