Best Practice (6b): Strategize Geometrically- [Thinking Visually]

A picture is worth a thousand words.

Always use a picture to make the conclusive point, then make a concise verbal point to enforce the picture.

To think visually, the approach to ["diagram the concept"] is important.

My favorite books that present different approaches are:
* Malcolm Craig's Thinking Visually: Business Applications of 14 Core Diagrams
*
Tom Pender's UML Bible.


Some of my favorite non-techie tools are:
* Engineering paper / butcher paper and
* Sharpie pens


My favorite techie diagram tools:
* Mindjet's Mind Manager and
* Microsoft's Visio 200x.
