This book is a good buy and can lead to the development of worthwhile meetings and the development of group dynamics which in turn can lead to change. The ideas of visual presentation of concept and data and using them to create insights of structure and the processes that can flow from that are gaining momentum (cf The Back of the Napkin (Expanded Edition): Solving Problems and Selling Ideas with Picturesand The Wall Street Journal Guide to Information Graphics: The Dos and Don'ts of Presenting Data, Facts, and Figures. I cannot help but applaud the author for putting this book together and attempting to educate conference presenters and team leaders to create dynamic audio visual presentations without complex technology. As an inveterate drawer and graphic presenter, I could understand what was presented and could gain new insights and ideas for the future. The book certainly is worthy of the reviews already received.But I do have a caveat which leads me to give less than a five star rating. It is this. To what extent will people who do not naturally think in this mode be able to adopt these methods? I appreciate the author's knowledge and experience and his belief that everybody can draw and can develop skills. Even if that is so, however, in order to develop the plethora of skills and techniques in this book and to use them dynamically, will take enormous work and dedication.
