  • A pen and paper – one of the most powerful business and thinking tools available… #visualthinking

    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.

    – Big Picture #2: Is your current business model robust, sustainable and scalable?*

    – Big Picture #3: What makes your business so different? Clue: it’s your customer experience…

  • How not to be one of the 75% of business start-ups that fail

    Over 75% of business start-ups fail within three years of launch.

    In the majority of cases, start-ups fail because the business owners do not have:

    • A clear vision of what success will look like for their business and themselves.
    • A fully thought through business model that is both sustainable and scalable.
    • unique customer experience that differentiates their business from the competition.

    Crackerjack People Development’s ‘Power Pack‘ has been designed to help prevent this happening to you (the business owner) and provide you with an opportunity to consider these business critical issues using the power of coaching and the clarity of visual thinking.

    – Big Picture #3: Differentiating your customer experience from the competition.
