  • Post-It notes and Visual Thinking

    Many people will have experienced using Post-It notes to structure thoughts and ideas in meetings and training events. However, in many cases the Post-It notes simply have words/phrases on them resulting in them being, in effect, a moveable linear list. Research continues to show that linear lists are not the most effective way of helping your brain understand complex and diverse information.

    Visual Thinking encourages people to share their thoughts using pictures, diagrams, sketches and other visual techniques. This helps people:

    • see concepts more clearly
    • see the relationships between different ideas more easily
    • resolve problems more efficiently

    Crackerjack People Development can help you and your organisation harness the power of Visual Thinking by designing and facilitating visual meetings and events and helping your people develop Visual Thinking skills in your organisation.

  • Taking the time to explore and play…

    Most organisations want to solve problems and generate new ideas as quickly and effectively as possible. However, counter-intuitively to some people, slowing down and taking the time to really explore and play with issues and ideas can allow the best solutions to be generated. The repercussions of rushed and ill-conceived concepts can in fact slow the business down, whereas considered quality solutions can ultimately allow the business to move at pace and succeed. #goslowtogofast
