Sans titre. I have been using in my coaching, facilitation and training work,the very well known Business Model Canvas from the best selling book Business Model Generation, pretty much since it came out. Off the back of that, I got involved in the crowd sourced follow up book Business Model You (spot my photo in the contributors section!). More recently I have been using the template from the book Value Proposition Generation, for work around account planning and product / service innovation. Overall using canvasses is a good thing, but they do have their downsides: Since working with these, I have seen quite a few different canvas variations pop up. Here is a non definitive list of canvasses I have come across. I claim no copyright nor ownership to any of these. My intent is to make this a hub for all canvas types. Be aware that some links may now be dead as it is a while since I created this. Michael LaChapelle has done a really excellent mini course on the Business Model Canvas.

SaveSaveSaveSave. Sans titre. This is a short list of graphic facilitation books that I consider essential reading on the topic. I personally own all of these and more! David Sibbett: Graphic Facilitation > One of the founders of this domain and a solid starting location. His other books are great, but follow the same ideas and extend them.

Figure 1: Blog post mind map. To understand and develop service design we need to combine knowledge from different areas, as business administration, publishing, marketing, psychology, journalism, design, mathematics, ethnography, among others. Every service solution will need a better understand of context, user needs and usage. The natural born service designer is beholder, curious, focused, communicative, organized and creative. Among other proficiencies, we need to develop the visual design skills. Designers communicate in a visual or an object language as symbols, signs, and metaphors. They are used for sketching, diagrams and technical drawings to translate abstract requirements into concrete objects. “A picture is worth a thousand words” “A picture is worth a thousand words” refers to the notion that a complex idea can be conveyed with just a single still image.

The Visual MBA is an experimental project to document business concepts and frameworks visually. The project was started in 2010 during my experience at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business. The project has three goals: SYNTHESIS | distill what I have learned over two years and reframe it in a personal, meaningful way REFERENCE | create an artifact that I can pick up in the future to easily relocate information INSPIRATION | design to inspire an ongoing reengagement and reimagining of business ideas The version of the book shown here is a concept document created with the intention to iterate and improve over time. The next iteration will be focusing on deepening the strategy, innovation, marketing, org design and people content, and expanding coverage to finance, operations, economics and analytical tools.

Visual Understanding Environment. Visual Thinking Methods. Visual Thinking Strategies & Learning Style | Trainiac | Trainiac. Instructional design is commonly applied when designing learning solutions. Adding visual thinking into the mix is our secret ingredient and what sets us apart from the rest. We know that it is the combination of visual thinking strategies and instructional design that make all the difference. What Is Visual Thinking?

Visual thinking is simply the ability to capture information, ideas and concepts visually so that other people can understand the message you’re conveying. To be a good visual thinker doesn’t mean you are an artist; often visual learning styles with stick figures and line drawings will help people get the point. At Trainiac, we are all visual thinkers, but since we have illustrators and artists on the team, we can make all our output and material look really great. Developing A Visual Learning Style During the development stage of our visual thinking strategies, we create all the learning material with a high percentage of it being visual.

Industrial design magazine + resource / Sketchnotes category. "It nearly moved me to tears," a Ford executive once said of a Michael Santoro car design.

"It's the best set of proportions I've ever seen on a sedan. " In the early '90s Santoro was an upstart designer largely responsible for turning Chrysler's fortunes around with his radical cab-forward concepts and dropped-headlight-fender trucks, and me and my ID classmates were lucky enough to visit his Detroit studio.

There we saw some of the most mind-blowing ID sketching I've ever seen, all done in one color with a Berol Prismacolor. His line quality was unbelievable: While there were sketch marks all over the page, Santoro could unerringly hit the same curve or corner he wanted to emphasize 40, 50, 60 times, with his precisely built-up strokes creating more pop than a Pepsi factory. I thought of this as I saw, of all things, these "Where People Run" maps released by Dr. Nathan Yau's Flowing Data website. continued...
