Just spotted this advert for a new TVR sports car which uses just black electrical insulation tape and a whiteboard to visualise a teaser image of the new car.
Just shows that you don’t have to stick to pens and paper to communicate your ideas visually!

For no other reason than it’s Friday afternoon, here’s a picture of a road-roller I drew earlier this week as part of a rich picture for a client! Have a good weekend! 🙂
It’s been a busy few months for Crackerjack Visual Thinking since the start of 2016!
Crackerjack’s work has included:
The common theme amongst all this work has been that clients are wanting to really engage people (whether it’s their own team members, their own client’s or their customer’s) and see visualising all or some elements of what they are trying to communicate as key to this engagement.
I see visual thinking as way to enhance people engagement and change initiatives by shortcutting the time it takes people to take in and process important and sometimes complex information. Looking at the ‘Resistance to Change Model’ below, it can been seen that ‘understanding the change’ is a vital part of people being able to move towards ‘new beginnings’:
So, if you are wanting to engage people or introduce a change in your organisation, think about how you can visualise the important information you need your people to understand. And don’t forget, you can also encourage your people to visualise how they feel and what they do and don’t understand about the change.
Things you could do include:

I’ve just completed a rich picture for a client to help them communicate some important ideas to one of their key customers. As with all of our visual thinking work, the images we create are there to facilitate the right conversations between people.
To do this we ensure each element of the image serves a purpose and communicates a key message. It’s often the small details included in the images that can create the biggest conversations!
The example below shows just a few small elements of a much larger image we created for the client:

One of Crackerjack’s clients sent through a picture of the rich picture we created of their organisations past and future journey. It was great to see it in pride of place in their office!
We created the rich picture using a collaborative approach with the organisations team members, using their initial thoughts and ideas as the basis for the final image.
The rich picture is used to by existing team members to keep the organisations mission and objectives at the front of their minds in the work they are doing. The rich picture is also used as part of the induction process for new team members and as an introduction for visitors to the organisation and its work.

Very pleased to report that Crackerjack Visual Thinking will be graphic recording an event for Google later this week in London.
And yes, when I asked how Google found out about Crackerjack Visual Thinking, they said they did find us on Google!!!
What do Macmillan Cancer Support, the NHS and Westmill Foods all have in common?
The answer is that they all want to use visual thinking tools to help communicate information to people (including in these cases staff, patients and strategic business partners) and start or continue important conversations in their organisations.
They have recognised how incorporating visual approaches increases the understanding and engagement their target audiences have with their work.
Crackerjack Visual Thinking will be creating solutions including rich pictures and an interactive improvement guide to support the above organisations in their work.
