"...an abridged version of four core design considerations that provide unique value to strategic decision-making:

- Story Telling: gives us a way to organize data into something meaningful by focusing on a big idea and supporting messages (the synthesis).
- Visual Hierarchy: gives us a way to tell the story effectively (the means).
- Empathy: allows us to make the story memorable and impactful (the meaning)."
