I found some really great infographics in an archived directory at work. I tracked down the creator, Marshall Clemens of www.idiagram.com, and found his offering very interesting… Visual Modeling for Complex Business Problems

We don’t hold a narrow definition of exactly what a ‘visual model’ should look like: they should use whatever visual elements or styles – diagrams, maps, graphs, charts, pictures, cartoons, etc. – that will most effectively represent the problem at hand.

I like how idiagram uses their own visual communication to explain what they offer…

Our visual modeling process serves as a tool to help our clients:

1 – Think Clearly

By explicitly mapping out the elements of the problem, visual models enable us to to generate a broader, clearer, and deeper understanding.

2 – Think Together

By catalyzing conversation and supplying a common map of the issues in question, a good visual model can help teams realize the synergy of their collective knowledge.

3 – Communicate Effectively

Good graphics can grab your audience’s attention and instill your ideas as visual-concepts: images that capture the essence of your ideas and that will be remembered long after your words have faded.

4 – Generate Shared Vision & Coherent Action

Inspiring coherent action – motivating people to self-organize and work in concert towards a common goal – requires shared vision. That shared vision – a common understanding of the issues, the goals, and the means to achieve them – is the source from which all sustainable and coherent action flows.

5 – Put It All Together

Idiagram creates visual models, provides graphic facilitation for group processes, and functions as thinking-partners to help our clients deal with complex issues.
