Pepsico Organizational Structure Chart

The legendary presentations of Hans Rosling, using his Gapminder software, are a masterclass in this. She champions a more nuanced, personal, and, well, human approach to visualization. We see it in the business models of pioneering companies like Patagonia, which have built their brand around an ethos of transparency. By providing a constant, easily reviewable visual summary of our goals or information, the chart facilitates a process of "overlearning," where repeated exposure strengthens the memory traces in our brain. For a chair design, for instance: What if we *substitute* the wood with recycled plastic? What if we *combine* it with a bookshelf? How can we *adapt* the design of a bird's nest to its structure? Can we *modify* the scale to make it a giant's chair or a doll's chair? What if we *put it to another use* as a plant stand? What if we *eliminate* the backrest? What if we *reverse* it and hang it from the ceiling? Most of the results will be absurd, but the process forces you to break out of your conventional thinking patterns and can sometimes lead to a genuinely innovative breakthrough. From a simple checklist to complex 3D models, the printable defines our time.
