    Great day yesterday facilitating my Vision and Values workshop with Pippa Birch CPP. CAP. APMP MIAT MCIHT and the team at Pipster Solutions Ltd.

    Pipster Solutions

    We spent the day developing and exploring their exciting future vision along with identifying the values, behaviours and activities that will help them achieve it. We even had an unexpected online participant due to transport issues – turned into a hybrid workshop!

    Next step: creating a rich picture of the Pipster Soutions vision!

    Collaboratively build your Vision and Values

    Collaboratively build your Vision and Values

    Collaboratively working with your people to create or renew the vision and values of your organisation can be one of the most valuable activities you can undertake as a leader.

    Whether you are an SME, charity, non-profit or a large corporate, collaborative visioning helps your teams understand the purpose and aims of your organisation and gives clarity on the activities they can undertake to develop and/or grow your organisation.

    Our Vision and Values Workshop provides a unique three stage approach to developing your vision and values:

    STAGE 1: A highly visual and interactive 1 day workshop exploring the vision and values of your organisation. The day also includes opportunity to identify the practical steps and activities needed to achieve your vision.

    STAGE 2: The creation of a rich picture of your vision that everyone can easily understand, discuss and engage with across you organisation. This becomes the map and guide to the achievement of your vision.

    STAGE 3: A follow-up review session to measure progress towards achieving your vision (6 or 12 months after the initial workshop).

    Latest client feedback

    Latest client feedback from Eastlight Community Homes

    Really pleased to have received the following client feedback from Lydia at Eastlight Homes about a whiteboard animation we’ve created for their AGM:

    John has produced the animation summarising our Financial Statements to be played as part of Eastlight’s AGM two years in a row. He’s incredibly easy to work with, quick, efficient, and friendly. He worked with the concepts we provided and communicated complex information in a way that’s creative, engaging, and easy to digest – exactly what we needed. Thank you, John.

  • RNLI Flags and Visual Thinking

    RNLI Flags and Visual Thinking


    RNLI Flags

    Hello!

    Hope you are having a good summer. I’ve been on holiday (in fair weather and foul here in the UK!) and was sat on the beach the other day when I started thinking about how visual thinking even plays a part in our summer holidays.

    The RNLI lifeguards (who do such a great job keeping us safe in the water) use a system of flags to indicate where you can safely go in the water and when you should stay out of the sea due to dangerous conditions. Whilst the flags have no specific imagery on them, the colour combinations seem to be generally well understood by beach-goers. This could be due to word-of-mouth, effective communication initiatives from the RNLI and more detailed signage being available at the entrances to the beaches.

    In terms of visually communicating important information rapidly and clearly, the RNLI flag system is a great example of visual communication.

    What other great examples of visual thinking and visual communication have you seen on your holidays? Feel free to share in the comments below!

    John

  • Visual Vision and Strategy Sessions for SME Business Owners​

    Visual Vision and Strategy Sessions for SME Business Owners​

    New 1:1 Visual Vision and Strategy Sessions for SME and Micro-Business Owners

    Vision and Strategy Sessions

    Really excited to launch my new 1:1 Visual Vision and Strategy Sessions for SME and Micro-Business Owners!!!

    I’ve taken the learning’s from numerous visual visioning project’s I’ve undertaken with larger organisations (including Rolls Royce, Dassault Systemes and Travelodge) and tailored the process to create a cost-effective experience for SME’s and micro-businesses that includes:

    – A 3 hour online session to help SME and micro-business owners get real clarity on their vision and strategy using my 1:1 Crackerjack Visual Vision and Strategy Mapping Process™

    – A unique Vision and Strategy Map rich picture illustration to help people literally ‘see’ their vision and strategy.

    – An Action Checklist to confirm the next step people need to take to work towards achieving their vision.

    – A 1 hour online review session three months after the initial session to reflect upon progress and plan next steps towards achieving their vision.

    Working through the 1:1 Crackerjack Visual Vision and Strategy Mapping Process™ and receiving the ‘Vision and Strategy Map’ and ‘Action Checklist’ will provide people with valuable knowledge, insight and understanding of their business, enabling them to:

    – Keep focused on implementing their strategy and working towards their vision.
    – Share their vision and strategy with others (team members, stakeholders, partners etc).
    – Measure their progress against their strategy.

    1:1 Visual Vision and Strategy Sessions are available from mid-August onwards. Find out more information here: https://lnkd.in/eb-4_snG

    Also, if you know any SME or micro-business owners who you think may benefit from the 1:1 Visual Vision and Strategy Sessions, I’d be really grateful if you could share this post with them. Thank you! 🙂
