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

How pictures can help people engage for success #engageforsuccess #visualthinking #engagement #strategicnarrative
Helping people throughout an organisation have a shared understanding the organisations story (often referred to as its strategic narrative) is a key part of any engagement strategy. The story can detail the history of the organisation, its current state and its future vision amongst other important information. For maximum impact, the story should detail the ‘what’ (i.e. what happened and when?), the ‘how’ (i.e. how were the things achieved?) and the ‘impact’ (i.e. how did people feel?). This combination of hard facts and emotion can provide a powerful tool in helping people understand the organisation, their feelings towards it, the role they have played and the role they can play in the future.
Now imagine that rather than just reading the story, people can see it mapped out visually on a large poster.
An operational storymap produced by Crackerjack Visual Thinking for Weetabix… They can gather around the poster and use it (either ‘freeform’ or as part of a structured meeting or event) to stimulate thinking and discussion and engage with the organisations story on a deeper level. Imagine if this activity was repeated across the whole organisation so that everybody understood its strategic narrative. Powerful eh?

Latest testimonial for Crackerjack Visual Thinking
Laura Haviland – HR Director Westmill Foods
We asked John [of Crackerjack Visual Thinking] to come and support our company conference, both to capture the content and spirit of the day and also to interact with our colleagues and gather their responses and reactions.
It was wonderful to see the graphic unfold as we followed the journey of the day and as the day came to a close the graphic was looking amazing.
We will print and frame copies of the final graphic at our sites as a reminder of the key messages and our day together.
John was a pleasure to work with, flexible about how the graphic recording fitted into our day and has produced a fabulous record of our conference.

Have a look at Crackerjack’s testimonials!
Here’s our latest testimonial:
Liam Humphreys – Exercise Science Researcher, Sheffield Hallam University
John attended the launch event of Active Everyday; a physical activity referral programme for people affected by cancer in Sheffield. The project is funded by Macmillan Cancer Support and Sport England.
The event included a diverse blend of delegates, including clinicians, nurses, researchers, commissioners, and people affected by cancer. The programme included many different speakers all promoting the benefits of physical activity for people with cancer. I asked John to attend the event because I wanted a creative way of providing delegates with an overview of the day.
The finished piece was extremely well received by the attendees and John was able to explain his artistic vision from what he had heard throughout the event. I now have a great piece of work that I can share with everyone from the event and for events in the future.
John was very easy to work with and accommodating to my requests. I would certainly use him again for future events and would highly recommend him to others.
If you would like a more creative and interactive experience for your events or meetings; John is your man.

Great feedback received about Crackerjack’s Visualising Great Conversations workshop
Here’s some feedback about the Visualising Great Conversations workshop recently run by Crackerjack for Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust:
“Very useful and inspiring session – especially around developing good listening skills not just around gaining confidence in actually drawing.”
“The style of the session was very relaxed and gave confidence to have a go at all the activities.”
“Enjoyed it and think it would be great to put it to use for info on activities for workshops.”
“It was really useful and previously I have avoided drawing anything due to lack of skill and this session gave me simple usable ways of getting the point across in a visual way.”
“I thought he [John] was excellent”.
“I liked that he used his graphics to demonstrate how they could be used – agenda / exercises.”
“It felt it was a ‘no pressure, have a go session’ which was perfect for the reluctant!”
“Excellent session, real food for thought about how we can do things differently within the organisation.”
