Great book

If you have to get complex points across to people as part of your job, this book will help you do a better job. Great for technical sales or product management.

Geared more to sales than sharing ideas

I bought this book because the idea of improving my visual thinking skills was intriguing. The first half of the book was more helpful to me than the second (the case study).

The main thing I was looking for help improving was my public speaking and teaching skills. It was moderately helpful in this area. The main audience I think that would be interested in this book is salespeople or consultants. It spends a lot of time convincing the reader to use hand drawn graphs instead of PowerPoint or Excel created ones.

I thought this book would help me draw

Dan Roam writes a fun book. I thought I would learn how to draw better when drawing business ideas. This book goes through the business plan on napkins - but after practicing drawing like Dan Roam in the book, it looks nothing like the book. Bummer. I would of loved a chapter on how to draw better.
