Periodic Table of Visual Methods

One of our passions is finding the best ways to visualize complex ideas like a competitive environment or a strategy. We use a wide variety of graphic and visualization methods to help clients literally “see” where they’re at and where they’re heading.

Well, the folks over at the Visual Literacy Program in Europe have put together what might be the best overview of visual methods I’ve ever seen. And it’s cleverly visualized as a Periodic Table to boot! After clicking on the table to load the interactive window, you can mouse over any of the boxes to see an example of that visualization method.

The Visual Literacy Program is an online program sponsored by several European universities to help students better understand and use graphic and visual methods to communicate their ideas more powerfully.
