It presented a new and exciting way to solve all kinds of problems-from the boardroom to the sales floor to the cubicle jungle.

It's filled with detailed case studies, guided do-it-yourself exercises, and plenty of blank space for drawing.

The workbook teaches readers how to:
-Improve their three "built-in" visual problem solving tools. -Apply the four-step visual thinking process (look-see-imagine-show) in any business situation. -Instantly improve their visual imaginations. -Learn how to recognize the type of problem to choose the best visual solution.
