      How many of us spend a lot of our time white boarding diagrams and concepts ... yet there's basically no training in it? Are there any books, classes, tutorials? Seems like an area ripe for thinking and refinement.

      it's essentially the intersection of sketch art, good handwriting, conceptualization, informatics, iconography, and storytelling. It can be practiced and developed intentionally ... but we don't.

      I would ❤️ to spend time with artists, creative thinkers, and storytellers thinking about how we could improve it. Can we develop better symbols that can convey more? E.g. how can I lo-fi sketch a symbol that says "customer" and not just "person"?

          My effectiveness at this is severely impaired because my handwriting has degenerated over the decades to the point where it’s - chicken scratch would be a complicated, more like leavings of a drunken ink-soaked cockroach.

          I often jump up to a whiteboard and then realize that I am incapable of writing coherently at this point.

          As someone who is both bad at whiteboarding and afraid of it, I would love to have formal training of some kind.

          “Iconography” is the name of the discipline that concerns how to “lo-fi sketch a symbol” that signifies a complex set of concepts like “customer.” The best book on iconography is “Understanding Comics” by Scott McCloud. https://amzn.to/2LzZkke

          @NadiaNadienka does this extremely well especially for conference talks. Chime her ;) and what I think you want is called "sketch noting" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sketchnoting …

          Absolutely! Sketchnoting, live sketching, visual recording... depends on the size! I recommend starting here: http://rohdesign.com/handbook/  reference to turn concepts and complex relations into boxes and arrows. ✍️
