I've found that a few simple pictures can help to influence project stakeholders. Recently I've attended seminars where the speaker shows hundreds of written bullet-points in a PowerPoint presentation, but I leave the room remembering nothing! A few days ago I saw a picture of a rioter throwing a TV-set through a bank's window in London, and that image is still fresh in my mind, and sums up the frustration better than any amount of text.
