The Back of the Napkin

The Back of the Napkin,  Dan Roam

For a book sub-titled ‘solving problems and selling ideas with pictures‘, there was  quite a lot to read!

However I really enjoyed the book and the seeing and visualising frameworks it explains, Although there was more reading than expected I don’t think there was anything really unnecessary in there, I think this was just my preconceptions of it being a lot more easy going.

If you have to do any problem solving or presenting of solutions then this book is for you, as I said earlier it provides and explains how to use a set of problem solving frameworks which the author has developed and refined over the years.  Whilst it is about using pictures to help you solve the problems, it expalins ways to help you visualise the problems without you needing to be an illustrator or moderen day Da Vinci.  Accessible to everyone even the ‘red pens’ and genuinely helpful, just don’t expect it to be a picture book!
