Visual Discovery for Presales and Solutions Architects

Need to communicate something visual to your customer or team?  Need to describe a network diagram or process you’ve never documented before?  See your fellow network architects come up with an amazing drawing?  How did they learn to do that?  What tools do they use?  And how do they take those great workshop outputs and transform them into a professional presentation or document?  This course will teach you how to facilitate a sketchnoting session with your team, a client, a customer, or partner, taking the information inside a meeting and transforming it into a visual flow or roadmap.  It will teach you to do (and also, what to avoid), and then help you take it even further, so it becomes the true north for your client’s vision or company strategy.  It will also cover common patterns and layout considerations, and discuss common tools you might use to facilitate these sessions.  Next, its going to be critical to transcribe your sketchnoting output into the next steps – a proposal, a presentation, or other document that is readable and understandable by those that did not work through the session you facilitated.  Augment your verbal skills with visual diagrams, taking your work to the next level, helping your work stand out above everyone elses!
