In this blog episode, I talk about how visualising your organisations Vision can improve communication, understanding and business performance.

Having a Vision and then successfully achieving it requires a coordinated approach focusing on three key activities: Communicating, Enabling and Embedding. In this blog episode, I share my thoughts on the importance ensuring you have a joined-up approach to these key activities (and what can happen if you don’t!):

Really enjoyed designing and facilitating an event for Travis Perkins PLC yesterday. The outputs from the event will be used for a variety of purposes including helping me design a rich picture showing the benefits to internal and external customers of a new system being launched in the coming months.
This has been a really collaborative piece of work so far and I’ve enjoyed working with my client to develop yesterdays session and plan for the next steps of our work together.

Great workshop design session with my @TP_plc (Travis Perkins) client in readiness for an event next month. We met at the @SaintsRugby ground in Northampton (the venue for the event) and worked together to create a visual and interactive session that will achieve my clients objectives during and after the event. Looking forward to facilitating the event! #graphicfacilitation #engage
I’m currently designing a visual rich picture for a client to use with one of their own key customers. The rich picture is visualising my clients ideas about how their customer can increase sales in a specific category in their UK-wide store network.
Here’s a quick work in progress peek at one very small section of the rich picture:
What’s great from my perspective is that my client really wants to support their customer for both of their mutual benefits (i.e. increasing sales is good for both parties). They want to be a strategic partner and not just simply a ‘supplier’.
And of course, investing in having a one page visual rich picture created to tell their story and share their ideas with their customer helps communicate their thinking so much more quickly and effectively than a report or multi-page powerpoint presentation.

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:
Graphic recording is the live real-time creation of a large visual record of a meeting or event (such as the graphic recording created by Crackerjack at the CIPD Annual 2013 Meeting shown above).
The power of graphic recording is in the fact the brain recalls information more effectively when stimulated with a visual image than simply words or lists. Graphic recording acts as aide memoir for those who attended the event and a guide to the meeting for those that weren’t there.
To find out more and arrange for Crackerjack to graphic record at your next meeting or event, please call John Ashton on 0775 282 6227 or contact us here.
