In this episode, we talk about the power of visual communication in business analysis. We are joined by Paddy Dhanda of the Superpowers School podcast and frequent speaker on visual communication with his colleague, Grant Wright (who has not able to join for this episode).
Visual communication is all a component of visual thinking. Paddy talks about why visual thinking is important and how you can build those skills.
