Pick Up Rapid Problem Solving With Post-it Notes Narrated By David Straker Issued As EPub

torn about how much value I got out of this book, In practice, it does serve up a valuable, if very focussed, guide to use of PostItTM Notes in defining, sorting, prioritising and giving structure to knowledge.
You have the PostUp and SwapOut for general information gathering and sorting, the TopDown and BottomUp for either generating or coalescing data, and you have the Information Map and the Action Map, either for finding commonality between the disparate or creating flow.
It all makes sense, but I'm not sure whether it needed to be PostItTM Note focussed or quite so long,

OK a viable toolset that somehow left me leaving short for the time spent reading it, I really enjoyed this book and the ideas it gave me, It really added some nice tools to my toolbox for my creative process, I find it helps me develop focus or find a new way of looking at a problem, and I find the process great for brainstorming ideas as well.
He did a great job writing the book so the ideas are easy to digest and begin to practice, as well as use it as a reference to refresh myself on different techniques later.
Super quick read. Nothing mind blowing, but pretty good techniques for brainstorming using the flexibility of postits, This has great ideas and ones that can help tackle any problem or find a solution for how to paint the garage,
It is using workbased examples mostly, Seems outdated. Nothing I didn't already know from UX work, There werepages of diagrams that did help with modeling some problem solving, If it were a book filled with these diagrams, then maybe, The text was lackluster. A mustread book on decision making and problem solving, which are two critical competencies in business life, I use Postit R notes frequently to outline my ebooks, books, and other documentation so I thought this would help me refine the process.
I also teach using Postit R notes in my writing seminars, The material has me stumped in many sections,

This is a resource book that you only want to read if you can directly apply it to the process you need it with.
Everything else in the book needs to left unread, Small but so powerful. Techniques galore. Impress your friends at parties and meetings,

One of the best problem solving/decision making books written, The initial concept was somewhat interesting, if not expensive you'd go through piles of postits to use this method, but if it works and you have the budget for it, that would be a valuable expense.
However, many of the methods seemed very complicated, However, trying to read them versus practicing them may be the problemif I were in a position to try out each step I might have been able to more clearly understand the descriptions.
I have been looking for alternative methods to the traditional brainstorming that would still allow everyone to have input and feel ownership in the process, so I'm interested in trying the postup the first piece of his technique.
The swap sort to figure out priorities and some method of moving the notes into flow charts in various ways could be very useful.
This is a straightforward guide to organizing ideas on postit notes that can be a great help to larger student groups brainstorming their ideas.
It also gives them a few options in choosing how to best organize those ideas, . . but in the age of working on google docs, this is not essential reading, This is a very visual book

unsurprising given its main idea is based on visual discussion and it's really easy to pick up the points and ideas quickly.


A lot of it felt selfexplanatory so it could probably have been an even shorter and quicker read, In any case, although hardly groundbreaking, it has some nice prompts to use to get our thoughts organised for decisionmaking and problem solving, Problem Solved!
