More and more I discover the range of visualization tools and power of visualization in general in business contexts these days (even though this is not a too groundbreaking insight ;-). Let it be for example for my current MBA class at the Open University or as a moderator at a recent design manager retreat (Raymond) on “Design Leadership”.
I’m looking forward to the day when “Business Visualization” might become a part of the curriculum for both “Designers” as well as “Managers”.
(found via: Jess McMullin: bplusd blog).
Addendum: It wouldn’t be great blog times if someone else wouldn’t have posted about this earlier ;-) Some minutes ago I’ve found additional information about the underlying paper on the “Periodic Table of Visualization Methods for Management” by Ralph Lengler and Martin J. Eppler (University of Lugano, CH) at Guy Kawasaki’s Blog “How to Change the World”.

[…] My fellow design manager blogger Ralf from Design-Management.de has listed a collection of visualization tools organized in a way that is similar to a chemistryperiodic table! This is really cool and its straight to my printer as a design management cheat sheet. You go ahead and do the same too! […]

tools… & techniques for design management. but mostly focussed within the organized business framework. like there is a designer… and a manager and a marketeer. are there any studies and tools recommended for managing the design & innovation processes in the unorganized businesses?
like making & marketing artistic artifacts, running an auto repair shop on the corner of the street. the woman who caters food to the whole IT community in b’lore. do the unorganised businesses need to get organized before they can adopt management tools to become better? are there any case studies of succeful leveraging of semi organized businesses?
