Visual and Creative Thinking in Business

Tuesday, March 10th, 2009

This wonderful presentation about Visual and Creative Thinking in Business has been created with a purpose to help people realize that Creativity is important in Business and provide some steps to build creativity that was so ubiquitous during childhood.

A must watch for all those involved in heavy duty work environments.

Doodling isn’t an art to be learnt, but a fun activity that you should absolutely indulge in, just as the kids do. But it changes perspectives immensely and also alters the way you’d think further on.

Visual thinking – A must for everyone and anyone, yet somehow the most neglected of all options.

Hope you enjoy this presentation.

NOTE: Within the coming week, we shall bring to you some perspectives of the book “Problem Solving 101 – Ken Watanabe” to help you make real visual thinking in your everyday living. (Had been reviewed in the last post.)

@Kelsey Ruger Thanks for such enlightening presentations. :-)

Get Started with Visual Thinking

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009

Visual Thinking is perhaps the most usual form of thinking we all indulge in. Dreams, day-dreams, imagination and thoughts too are inherently visual.

We have been doing quite a bit of Visual Thinking @ Pictualize and off late as I thought of creating a presentation to help others engage in Visual Thinking, I came across this presentation by VizThink – An Introduction To Visual Thinking.

Hope it gives you a feel of thinking visually. Also intend to write about insight into building your visual thinking capabilities beyond the ordinary in a short while. Keep reading! :)

The Power of Visual Thinking!

Sunday, December 14th, 2008

Visual thinking and it’s power is not something new but is one of the ancient powers of the human mind at both conscious and unconscious levels. It is through the same power that humanity was blessed with the following innovations.

1. Kekule’s doze-dream, about intertwined snakes swallowing their own tails in his fireplace, taught him the structure of the benzene ring, basis of all organic chemistry.

2. Elias Howe’s nightmare of cannibals attacking, whose spears happened to have holes in their heads, gave him his a-ha! for the sewing machine he had been laboring for so long to invent.

3. Nicola Tesla’s in-head visual predictions gave us our electric power system and a major part of the electronics industry and way of life.

4. Einstein’s “train ride on a beam of light” taught him–and us–his theories of relativity which remade the whole of physics and helped remake the whole of science.

The Pictualize Team

“A picture says more…” – Aakanksha Gaur

“Visual thinking overcomes barriers to understanding.”- Anirudh Maitra

“Playing with words is passé. It’s time to communicate with pictures.”- Vineesh Kumar

The team at “Pictualize” comprises of three intellectually de-aligned individuals, who feel strongly about conveying through pictures. We believe that the right pictures can establish a connection with a viewer instantly, something that a bunch of words can seldom hope to achieve.

Aakanksha Gaur, Visual Architect, is the pillar of all creative activities at Pictualize. She is a Computer Science Engineer, with an inborn talent to put ideas into pictures. Apart from being an adept artist, she is also a regular blogger and loves reading.

Anirudh Maitra, Idea Catalyst, is an Electrical and Electronics Engineer, who gives fresh ideas and concepts for projects at Pictualize. Apart from idea storming, he loves to spring up with new business ideas and technology products.

Vineesh Kumar, Chief Rainmaker, is an Electrical Engineer, who is passionate about the techniques people use to explain themselves and how Pictualize can serve them in this regard. He is also involved in giving creative inputs for projects at Pictualize. Work aside; he is an avid blogger and a deep-rooted technology enthusiast.
