More About This Book

Overview

An original workbook companion to the acclaimed business bestseller The Back of the Napkin

Dan Roam's The Back of the Napkin, a BusinessWeek bestseller, taught readers the power of brainstorming and communicating with pictures. It presented a new and exciting way to solve all kinds of problems-from the boardroom to the sales floor to the cubicle jungle.

The companion workbook, Unfolding the Napkin, helps readers put Roam's principles into practice with step-by-step guidelines. It's filled with detailed case studies, guided do-it-yourself exercises, and plenty of blank space for drawing. Roam structured the book as a complete four-day visual-thinking seminar, taking readers step-by-step from "I can't draw" to "Here is the picture I drew that I think will save the world."

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.

If The Back of the Napkin was a guide to fine dining, Unfolding the Napkin is the cookbook that will soon be heavily marked up and dogeared.

    Back of the Napkin provided a great framework. This book gives the application. Using these techniques will give anyone the edge.

    Back of the Napkin had an impact on my visual thinking skills much the same way that "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" had on my time management skills. But when I was done reading it, I was left questioning how to leverage those concepts every day. Unfolding the Napkin answered that question.

    Although Roam presents the book as a 4-day workshop, it definitely doesn't take 4 full days to get through. Don't read this book without a notepad, Post-it flags, and a pencil handy.

    An easy read that will be a great complement to any business book library. With these tools in your toolbox, you will be set apart from the others.
