Listening to Russell Ackoff speaking, I “sketchnoted” this in Brushes on my iPad. I’m a very visual thinker, so this is a way for me to make things stick a little better in my brain, plus it’s very fun and relaxing to do.
I don’t worry to much about my handwriting and general drawing skills. I just draw. It will be interesting for me to see how my drawings change over time, because my guess is I’ll be doing a lot of this, just for the fun of it.
If you’re interested in the topic of systems thinking, go ahead a watch Ackoff’s talk. I’m afraid my sketchnotes may not be very intelligible for anyone else but me, but I highly recommend the method as a way of taking notes and processing new information.
Big thanks to Esther Derby for telling me about sketchnoting!

Very cool! The animation is a bit fast…I love the idea though! Does Brushes on the iPad create the animation too?
Yep, Brushes records all the action. Then you can export a file with all the actions to a Brushes player on the Mac, and from there export a movie.
Look what I found:

Very nice! I think I’ve seen her work before, but not that book. Cool!
