Kailash Awati writes a blog focused on IT development issues and has
lately been doing a wonderful job of summarizing IBIS and issue
mapping -- complete with illustrations -- in his blog "Eight to Late".

Check out today's blog entry, a brilliant review of the DM book, at
http://eight2late.wordpress.com/2009/06/04/dialogue-mapping-a-book-review/

I also recommend going back and reading some of the earlier blogs on
visual representations -- great, clear expositions of the principles
of IM and DM written by someone who hasn't done any of our workshops.

Cheers,
Jeff
