Synopsis

This book contains visualse.g., diagrams, slides, graphs, charts, infographs, etc. These visual (read: non-text) content will advance the central thesis of the book: When talking about technology and data, most people need to alter their approaches to effectively communicate to others. They can get better at the critical skill of crystallizing their ideas. This book will help them do just that. It will address the rapidly changing business environment, Kurzweils law of accelerating change, and our inability to often (effectively) understand what we are saying to each other; focus on the specific words that we use to write and speak; focus on the ever-increasing tools that we use to communicate and examine the right ways to communicate different messages.
