Graphic tools and visual solutions for team building and development

Visual Teams uses visual tools and methods to help teams—both face-to-face and virtual—reach high performance in today's work environment. As teams become more and more global and distributed, visualization provides an important channel of communication—one that opens up the group's mind to improving work systems and processes by understanding relationships, interconnections, and big picture contexts.

Visual Teams shares best practices and uses visualization as a power tool for process improvement by providing teams with a common language for high performance. The book:

• Explores how any kind of team can draw on the principles and practices of creative design teams in the software, architectural, engineering, and information design professions
• Introduces the Drexler/Sibbet Team Performance™ Model and related tools—a system used throughout companies such as Nike, Genentech, Becton Dickinson, Chevron, and others

Visual Teams presents a comprehensive framework, best practices, and unique visual tools for becoming an innovative, high-performance team.
