    The graphic recording from yesterday’s session at Sheffield University (www.shef.ac.uk/ress) 

    Had a great afternoon graphic recording a 2 hour session up at Sheffield University. The session was co-facilitated by representatives from the UK Department of Business, Skills and Innovation and from the Research Exchange for the Social Sciences (RESS) based at Sheffield University. Participants in the meeting included a number of entrepreneurs from the local area. Graphic recording captured the thoughts and ideas emerging from their discussion and will allow the outputs from the meeting to be shared and discussed more widely in both academic, business and government circles. #visualthinking #sharingideas #communicatingeffectively

  • What do you call a gathering of graphic recorders?

    Yesterday I had the pleasure of working with 11 other graphic recorders at a leadership event. It was brilliant to have the opportunity to see the similarities and differences in our work as we visually brought to life the participants thoughts and thinking through our graphic recordings. And we also concluded that a group of graphic recorders should be referred to as a ‘scribble’!

  • Graphic recording under Concorde!

    Spent the afternoon graphic recording literally under Concorde (the supersonic aircraft) at Manchester Airport! #supersonic #graphicrecording

  • What can Graphic Recording add to my meeting or event?

    GR example Feb 2013 small

    A graphic recording will tell the story of your meeting or event including themes, facts, memorable conversations and key images.

    Having a graphic recording created during your meeting or event allows:

    • Facilitators/meeting leaders to:
      • use the graphic recording to summarise progress during the meeting.
      • use the graphic recording to summarise the meeting at the end of the event.
    • Participants to:
      • check their understanding during the meeting and clarify anything they may have missed.
      • use the graphic recording as an aide memoir after the event.
    • People who weren’t able to attend the event to:
      • ‘see’ the meeting as it happened using the graphic recording as a guide.
    • Everyone to:
      • use the graphic recording as a tool to stimulate discussion and debate back in the workplace (and beyond!) after the event.

  • Helping the story live after the event

    Great three days in Paris graphic recording for large global organisation. Even better that all participants committed to use the graphics to share the story of their meeting with their teams around the world!!! #engagement #graphicrecording #visualthinking

  • Off to Paris we go!

    Just had confirmed a three day graphic recording job in Paris for a client who wants an engaging record of the event that can be used both during and after the meeting to engage team members across the organisation. #graphicrecording #visualthinking #engagement

  • A clear vision is the compass to success

    When starting a new business, having a clear vision of what success looks like on both a business and personal level is vital. This knowledge is the compass that will guide you towards that success. #businesssuccess #visualthinking

  • What makes your business so different?

    Do you really know what makes your business so different from the competition? Successful businesses ask themselves this question on a regular basis. Do you? #visualbusinessdevelopmnenttools #bigpicture #visualthinking #insightpack
