In his book, The Back Of The Napkin, author Dan Roam asserts that that everyone is born with a talent for visual thinking, but that we — especially in the business world — are never encouraged to develop it. In this video, Roam shows us how anyone with a pen and a scrap of paper can exercise their imagination and work through any business problem by creating pictures.

  • hate the commercial preceding this...

  • This is one of my favourite authors, with David Allen and Stephen Covey

  • aah this modern western civilization aaalways gets astonished with things used for centuries, in what is named "sketching" in a very depreciated matter named "graphic design" and centuries ago named "art" or "crafts" this computer things dulls man mind :S

  • It's interesting how much we don't pay attention to the obvious. And how many of those who do are just plain confused on what to do and how to do it. After all, how hard is it to be a good driver? Now compare that with how many drivers are on the road, how many of them think they're a good driver, and how many of them can pass a drivers test, and what their passing score is.

  • If you were an engineer, you would be used to draw pictures to explain, solve and discover problems and solutions... basic...

  • I love this book, glad I bought it.

  • Dan, I am reading the book. I am about 25% of the way through it. As a business coach, I help people develop their entrepreneurship skills. Your book has already helped me to "look" at this task differently and to "see" new ways to serve my clients. I can hardly wait to finish it to see what other insights you will trigger for me with this process. Thanks so much.

  • Haven't read the book but doesn't this sound rather like stating the bleedin' obvious?
