Lo hay. Se llama pensamiento visual y es el tema de este libro: resolver problemas mediante dibujos. Segun Roam, no existe mejor forma de constatar que realmente sabemos algo que si somos capaces de dibujarlo.

El pensamiento visual significa aprovechar la capacidad innata para descubrir ideas que de otro modo serian invisibles, desarrollarlas rapida e intuitivamente y luego compartirlas con otras personas de una manera que ellos puedan captar de manera simple.

Used properly, a simple drawing on a humble napkin is more powerful than Excell or Power POint. It can help crystallize ideas, think outside the box, and communicate in a way that people can simply "get". In this book, Dan Roam argues that everyone is born with a talent for visual thinking, even those who they can't draw.

Komplexe Sachverhalte, umstandlich erklart und obendrein langweilig dargestellt oder kurz: Bla Bla Bla. So empfinden wir nicht selten die wortreichen Vortrage und Power-Point-Prasentationen, die uns in Meetings, Seminaren und Fortbildungen einschlafern. Kein Wunder, dass wir das meiste wieder sofort vergessen. Mit Dan Roams neuem Band ist Schluss damit. Er fuhrt anschaulich vor, wie das bewahrte Prinzip des Storytellings seine inspirierende Wirkung voll entfaltet: in Kombination mit Bildern, Skizzen, Entwurfen oder ganzen Bildgeschichten. Ein Bild sagt mehr als 1000 Worte. Wenn man sich diese Tatsache geschickt zunutze macht, hat man das probate Gegenmittel fur Langeweile und Vergessen. Und man lernt, wie man richtig Stoff sondiert, ihn strukturiert und schlussendlich prasentiert. Dan Roam sagt, was zu tun ist, wenn Worte ihren Dienst versagen oder besser: Er zeigt es uns anschaulich in Bildern, Zeichnungen und Skizzen.

The acclaimed bestseller about visual problem solving-now bigger and better "There is no more powerful way to prove that we know something well than to draw a simple picture of it. And there is no more powerful way to see hidden solutions than to pick up a pen and draw out the pieces of our problem."So writes Dan Roam in The Back of the Napkin, the international bestseller that proves that a simple drawing on a humble napkin can be more powerful than the slickest PowerPoint presentation. Drawing on twenty years of experience and the latest discoveries in vision science, Roam teaches readers how to clarify any problem or sell any idea using a simple set of tools.He reveals that everyone is born with a talent for visual thinking, even those who swear they cant draw. And he shows how thinking with pictures can help you discover and develop new ideas, solve problems in unexpected ways, and dramatically improve your ability to share your insights.Take Herb Kelleher and Rollin King, who figured out how to beat the traditional hub-and-spoke airlines with a bar napkin and a pen. Three dots to represent Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio. Three arrows to show direct flights. Problem solved, and the picture made it easy to sell Southwest Airlines to investors and customers.Now with more color, bigger pictures, and additional content, this new edition does an even better job of helping you literally see the world in a new way. Join the teachers, project managers, doctors, engineers, assembly-line workers, pilots, football coaches, marine drill instructors, financial analysts, students, parents, and lawyers who have discovered the power of solving problems with pictures.

Get ready for the ultimate crash course in communicating and solving problems through simple pictures.Thirty-two thousand years ago, your many-times-great-grandparents Oog and Aag drew pictures on the wall of a cave. They had an innate need to communicate, but no written language. So they found an easy and natural way to share their thoughts and stories. Today, after so many years when speaking and writing dominated, were back in another highly visual age. About 90 percent of everything shared online is now visualselfies, GIFs, smartphone videos, and more. This explosion of communication through pictures isnt a millenial-driven fad; its as natural as those lines first drawn by Oog and Aag. Just turbo-charged by the latest technology. And yet over the past twenty years, as Ive taught people from Fortune 500 CE0s to White House staffers how to harness the power of imagery, the biggest objection Ive always heard is, "But I cant draw!" Trust me, you can. You dont need to be da Vinci to be an outstanding visual thinker and communicator. The most effective drawings are the simplest, and you can get good at those in three minutes. In this little book, Ill teach you how to use seven basic shapes to explain just about anything to just about anyone.If youve read my previous books, youll see one or two familiar tools here, along with a bunch of new tools you can start using right away.If youre new to my approachwelcome! Get ready to work smarter, communicate more clearly, and get better at whatever you do, just by picking up a pen.Get ready to draw to win.

This isnt just a book about improving communications, presentations, and ideation; its about removing the blah-blah- blah from your life for good.
