Title: The Back of the Napkin

Author: Dan Roam

 

I just started reading this great book and I’m already to page 123 – I can’t put it down. It has awesome insights on solving any problem by using hand drawn pictures. On of my favorite concepts so far is the 6 w’s, or “clumps.”

1.     Who and what problems

2.     How much problems

3.     When problems

4.     Where problems

5.     How problems

6.     Why problems

For further explanation into these areas I guess you’ll have to read the book :) !
