In Italian, an abozzo (ah-Botz-zoh) is a rough sketch.
Abbizzo (ah-Beetz-zoh*) applies the spirit and methods of creativity, visualization, & iteration to business problems and business prototyping. Sketches are more than images: they’re words, numbers, maps, data, stories, and learning journeys. They are are vital steps to making a prototype, a plan, a partnership, a process. Through a sketch approach, intentions, insights, and ideas start rough and become more refined, detailed, and real.
My inspiration to mix the Italian and American idioms has lead to an imperfect result, but with joy in the making.

Hat tip to Jump Associates
