This document discusses sketching experiences as a form of visual blogging. It describes sketching experiences as using visualization tools like doodling, infographics and mind mapping to sketch meanings derived from life experiences. The document outlines steps for sketching experiences, which include experiencing life, defining words, relating words, refining relationships, finding metaphors and drawing. It provides an example of how Boeing builds airplanes globally using countless pictures to map out and share plans, processes and projects. The overall message is that sketching life experiences can provide meaningful insights and anything that can be drawn can also be accomplished.

“I recently read an eye-opening article about
Boeing’s next generation 787 airliner and how it is
being built literally around the world. I can’t think
of a better illustration of total globalization; here
you have arguably the most complex machine
ever created, being assembled to tolerances of a
millionth of an inch (and fractions of a penny) on
thousands of assembly lines, in multiple countries,
by people speaking dozens of languages. All this is
possible only because the whole thing (the plane,
the processes, the project) is mapped out and
shared in COUNTLESS PICTURES.
