They are built on same framework
As part of Renault-Nissan Alliance

So does Volkswagen & Skoda (Vento & Rapid)
Yes, there are changes, but the basic framework is same.

· Environmental flow, the amount of water necessary in a watercourse to maintain a healthy ecosystem
· Flow chemistry, a chemical reaction run in a continuous stream
· Flow cytometry, a technique for counting, examining and sorting microscopic particles suspended in a
stream of fluid
· Mass flow rate, the movement of mass per time
· Traffic flow, the study of interactions between vehicles, drivers, and infrastructure

Visuals Vs. Text
Human brain processes visual information
almost 60,000 times faster than textual

What Framework Gives?
A placeholder to put things: STRUCTURE
Not specific to any work. i.e. any Similar Category type of work can be done:
GENERALISED; NOT FIXED
Guides “How to” about work than “What to”?

What Flow Gives?
A Directions to move forward
Well informed Next Steps
Visual Retreat

Flows to Frameworks
ROADS to Cars
TRACKS to Rails
RUNWAYS to Aircrafts
