About the Authors
Martin
Martin Sykes started writing software 31 years ago and has spent the last 24 years working in IT organizations in the public and private sector. Since 1999 he has focused on IT Strategy and Enterprise Architecture. While developing the process and templates for visual storytelling he has worked in organizations from GlaxoSmithKline to Her Majesty's Prison Service to Microsoft, on projects from product lifecycle management to offender management systems. He has personally seen the difference a visual story can make in gaining commitment and has trained many people in the related techniques. After joining Microsoft Services in 2006 Martin began to develop many of the methods and practices now used by Microsoft Enterprise Architects around the world.
Martin lives near Cambridge in the UK with his wife Jules, cats Solo and Tom, and an ever increasing collection of robots.
Martin is an amazing speaker and storyteller. Like anyone who has practiced his art, Martin makes storytelling look easy, but don't fool yourself. He has worked harder to understand the underlying methods and mechanisms of communication than anyone I know. He's a pretty good photographer as well, and this book has some of his photos scattered throughout. I consider myself both fortunate and blessed to know him and work with him on this grand effort.
