Visuals for influence: in project management and beyond

Young children love to draw. They have a confidence in expressing themselves that some might consider misplaced for their actual ability. A jumble of lines is proudly proclaimed to be a family portrait. However, for all but the most creatively inclined, as we grow older, we lose this confidence to draw - to express ideas visually. Research with project managers reveals that many do not feel they have the skills to visualise information, and their stakeholders comment that the ability to visualise is far from an inherent trait of the project manager, even though there is a growing preference for this type of communication (van der Hoorn, 2020).
