Leah Buley's Index Card Interview with Dave Gray
Adaptive Path has a brain crush on Dave Gray. He’s the founder of XPLANE, a compay that creates visualizations to clarify complex business problems. More importantly, Dave is that rare combination: super smart and super down to earth. A couple years ago, Dave did a presentation called Free the Facts, in which every slide is a scan of a handwritten index card. The cards start out simply, and get increasingly more detailed and fascinating as the presentation progresses. See? Super smart and super down to earth!
So when I heard that Dave would be presenting a workshop at UX Week 2010, I jumped at the chance to chat with him—via index card, natch. Below, Dave shares a little bit about knowledge games, which he’ll soon be releasing a book on. It’s called Gamestorming: A playbook for innovators, rule-breakers and changemakers, and you can pre-order it on Amazon. Of course, I want it now.
By the way, we learned last week that XPLANE has joined forces with Dachis Group. Big congratulations to Dave, and score for Dachis Group.
