It was great to work with my friends at the AndPartnership last week at their annual free seminar. This years event explored the topic of ‘Leading in a Changing World’ and featured a number of guest speakers (including Andy Cope author of ‘The Art of Briliance‘). Here are the graphic recordings I produced live during the event:

Here’s a visual thinking approach to checking the logic and clarity of your organisations business model:
1. Print off a copy (as big as possible) of @AlexOsterwalders Business Model Canvas from the Business Model Generation website. This will give you a great framework in which to visualise your thinking about your business model.
2. Use minimal words and lots of pictures to complete the canvas in a maximum of 5 minutes.
3. Now ask yourself the following questions:

Crackerjack Visual Thinking believes that the combination of a pen and a piece of paper is one of the most powerful business and thinking tools available.
The visual thinking approach is fundamentally based on using these simple tools (or their iPad style equivalents!) to create visual images that communicate ideas, facilitate discussion, engage thinking and provide a catalyst for co-creation between people.
The visual thinking approach enables organisations to experience increased creativity and innovation – ultimately leading to growth and success.

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
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
