"As the author of this unusual book explains, most problems consist of 'chunks' of information, and identifying and manipulating these chunks can lead us to a solution. Post-it Notes provide the ideal medium for this process: they can hold information, they stay where they're put and they can be combined and rearranged to reflect further analysis. They are particularly suited to group problem-solving, where both the information and the process need to be shared."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
