People find it difficult to express ideas and solve problems purely with words. They find it much easier to use diagrams. Distilled into a single, perfectly sized volume are fifty of the most useful diagrams that are used by consultants, academics, MBA students, and smart managers globally to assist with problem solving and thinking. Triangles and pyramids, grids and axes, timelines, flows and concepts, and circles—the fifty diagrams are each presented and explained in an accessible manner, including tips and advice on how you can apply them to your own situations.
