Visual frameworks are pictorial mental models that can help you clarify your thoughts. Each visual framework is like a building block. You can combine and configure them in different ways to think creatively and build shared understanding about anything.
Visual frameworks would be an excellent resource for strategizing, planning, training and education/learning. I am going to keep coming back to it to enhance my visual thinking skills.
Agtrea collection of insightful metaphors. It is an extremely useful tool for stimulating discussion and surfacing novel insights. The cards are high quality and easy to handle. The suggested conceptual structure for using them is intuitive and helpful.
Dave's representations are a powerful way of connecting what one might think or feel when pondering some word meant to describe a state of being or experience. The drawings are rich and evocative, which helps one get over the gap between feeling and sensing and 'what we mean' by a word or idiom. So useful for developing and evolving conversations, which is exactly what it says on the tin — they're useful 'to think creatively and build shared understanding about anything.' Great stuff!
🚀 Just came across your impressive visual framework project! I'm really loving the concept and the potential it holds. Although I'm not quite clear on how to use it yet, I'm genuinely excited about the possibilities it offers. Keep up the fantastic work, and I'm eager to learn more about using your incredible framework! 👏🌟
Great work, Dave! Always excited to see what you produce. Your work brings more clarity to our craft - describing oft-complex concepts through simple visualizations. Thanks again!
Use these to either gain a new perspective on what you’re struggling with, or “reheat” what’s already in your brain.
This incredible tool complements myriad other mental models curated over the years in a simple, accessible, and portable way. Without overcomplicating the approach, they offer new opportunities to explore and understand. Absolutely brilliant. A great introduction or continuation of Gray's other works.
Pardon the lingo and acronyms here: EOS and Strategic Coach communities use the Kolbe Index. Among other things, Kolbe measures how "fast" people want to apprehend a concept. The folks who see more the gist of the concept than the details of it are called, "low Fact Finder." I am one of em. And so, for me, Visual Frameworks are the medium I think in, and Dave Gray finally gave me a dictionary for my wall. Thanks, Dave. Keep going. You're helping.
