WORKING THE FRONT AND BACK CHANNELS OF VISUAL THINKING - Tom Wujec
Details
Join Tom Wujec, multiple TED speaker, technologist, executive facilitator, and founder of the Wicked Problem Solving System, in a deep dive into the mechanics of visual thinking. Tom will share practices of rendering mental models into a variety of visual expressions to help us think, communicate, and collaborate. Drawing from his 40 years experience guiding teams to build better products, create more engaging movies and video games, more sustainable buildings, and winning strategies, he will share approaches to make ideas visible. We’ll use a shared Miro board and think together to explore how to elevate conversations and improve decision-making.
