#241: The Analyst's Underutilized Tool: the Sketchbook with Dan White

As a general rule, analysts are drawn to precision: let's understand the business problem and then go figure out how the data can be acquired and crunched to provide something specific and useful. Fair enough. Where, then, do pencil and paper and 10-second sketches fit in? Or hastily and collaboratively drawn flippy chart or whiteboard sketches? We could draw you a picture to explain, but podcasts are an audio medium, so, instead, we brought on the illustrious illustrator, consultant, and author, Dan White . From triangles, to rolling snowballs, to trees, to Venn diagrams, to the conjoined triangles of success , this episode paints a pretty clear picture of the power of the quick sketch!
