Have you ever imagined that the phrases you use every day can help you visualize your business ideas and concepts in a presentation?

Just take a moment to go through some of the expressions you use every day. Chances are that those phrases use a vivid visual imagery of a situation. Some expressions use powerful analogies and metaphors. 

When you use visuals to depict these phrases, you get some useful diagram templates.  In this article, we will some examples of how we can convert every day phrases into creative business diagram templates.

Example 3: Key to solve a problem

We use the metaphor of ‘lock and key’ quite a lot in our daily talk. When you use a visual to capture the mental imagery of the phrase, you get a powerful diagram template like this:

You can go on and on in creating variations.
