Visual thinking is a cognitive and problem-solving approach that uses diagrams, sketches, mind maps, and other visual representations to organize and process information rather than relying solely on verbal or numerical reasoning. It is often used by designers, strategists, educators, and consultants to brainstorm ideas, communicate complex concepts, and see relationships between pieces of information more clearly. Techniques like sketchnoting and whiteboarding are common practical applications of visual thinking in workplaces.
