Hello William. It appears you don't know that cross-posting is frowned upon.

No idea what an "organizational creative" is.

You seem to be saying that meshing software design, with a
presentation of said design to management are the same thing, or that
by doing the design in a "management-friendly" manner is beneficial.

I don't think I agree with either of those statements, assuming that's
what you meant. I find flow charts and boxes and other "I'm a visual
person" type of design to be too slow and constraining. I use them for
presentation and for a top-level documentation, but I don't design
around them.

I find that often the "I'm a visual person and need boxes" speech
means the programmer needs a crutch and can't seem to dig into the
code without those crutches. Realize that I'm not saying that good
documentation, including graphs, are bad.
