Pictures speak louder than words. But how can you use diagrams to help you? This unit looks at how diagrams can be used to represent information and ideas about complex situations. You will learn how to read, draw and present diagrams to help illustrate how ideas or processes are connected.

After reading this unit you should be able to:

• appreciate diagrams as a powerful aid to thinking and acting;
• distinguish between systems diagrams and diagrams helpful in systems work;
• demonstrate sufficient skills to ‘read’ and ‘draw’ a wide range of diagrams, following given conventions, that help improve your understanding of a situation;
• select diagrams suited to the needs of the situation you are investigating and the purposes/preferences of you as the diagrammer.
