Visualizations improve knowledge sharing

An interesting experiment shows that visualizations can improve knowledge sharing. The experiment consisted of a 3 meetings. One arranged with visualization software, another with a flip chart, and lastly a regular boring meeting. After a 45min task meeting there is a distraction task that lasts an hour. Productivity in the meeting with the visualization software as well as the quality of the work was higher. Knowledge gains also showed an increase while using visualization software. Interestingly, a study in Asia will be conducted to see if it is independent to culture.
