Recently, I was asked to give a presentation at work about the Incubation effort I'm leading. It was packed with hefty, jargon-filled topics like B2B2C, Service-as-a-Product (SAAP) models, wraparound services, and go-to-market strategies. For my LinkedIn friends, these might be familiar terms. However, for others—especially the diverse audience I was speaking to—this jargon made the topic feel dull and borderline inaccessible.
I thought hard about how to make these concepts more relatable, especially in the context of human coaching. That's when I came up with a metaphor that still makes me drool: ice cream delivery.
To illustrate the different aspects of this metaphor, I aimed for minimalist (black and white) visuals with a retained New Yorker-style charm. Back in my Art Director days, this would have meant countless hours with a lightbox, fine-point pens, and childish outcomes.
Nowadays, they happened in just minutes using DALL·E through ChatGPT. The process taught me how to ask for help from an unexpected partner and how my Art Director skills—especially in describing the desired outcome—still come in handy. Of course, there were repeated instructions like, “Please create more diverse characters—people of color, please!” But that’s a topic for another day.
Check out these amazing New Yorker-style illustrations I DID NOT hand-drawn.
