BusinessWeek's best innovation book of the year A Fast Company best business book of the year The (London) Times business creativity book of the year "A must read for younger generation managers." -BusinessWeek "Roam shows that even the most analytical right-brainers can work better by thinking visually."
"In 2008, Roam's The Back of the Napkin soaked up some book-of-the-year love from The Financial Times, Businessweek and Amazon.com. Roam's point was that problems can be better solved by drawing simple pictures, regardless of artistic ability. It's easier to see solutions visually, and it's also the revealing process of physically diagramming a problem, the argument goes.
Dan Roam is the author of The Back of the Napkin, which was Fast Company's Best Business Book of the Year and BusinessWeek's Innovation and Design Book of the Year. His consulting clients have included Microsoft, Google, Wal-Mart, Boeing, Lucasfilm, The Gap, the U.S. Navy, and the White House Office of Communications.

I recently wrote an article about sketchnoting, an approach to notetaking using both words and drawings.
