  • Crackerjack Visual Thinking to develop the #visualthinking skills of the #Interflora senior leadership team

    I’m pleased to share with you that Crackerjack Visual Thinking will be working with the Interflora senior leadership team (SLT) in November to help them develop their visual thinking skill set.

    We’ll be focussing on helping them develop both confidence and technique in drawing and also capturing information visually in a live environment.

    The goal will be to enable the SLT to begin using these approaches in their own meetings to drive better conversations and enable ideas to be explored and captured more effectively.

    If you and your colleagues would also benefit from developing these visual thinking skills, please do CONTACT US.

  • Quick Poll: Have you shared an idea with colleagues by drawing it? #visualthinking

    It would be great if you had 30 seconds to complete the following poll to help us understand more about how people use drawing to share ideas in the workplace!

    Thanks for you help!

  • Open an ‘art gallery’ to drive #innovation in your organisation!

    If you’re looking for an effective way to increase innovation, creativity and communication in your organisation, here’s a plan:

    1. Buy enough coloured marker pens and large sheets of paper for everyone in your business!
    2. Give them the confidence and skills (via appropriate visual thinking training) to be able to sketch/scribble/draw their thoughts, ideas and moments of genius.
    3. Encourage them to share their sketches with others in the business.
    4. Encourage people to (constructively!) add to, amend, change and develop each other’s sketches.
    5. Set up an ‘art gallery’ (real or virtual) and display everyone’s sketches and masterpieces.
    6. Arrange for everyone to visit the gallery and ask everyone to show which sketches they would buy (i.e. which thoughts/ideas they think have most potential to move the organisation forward) by either ticking the sketch or sticking a post-it to it.
    7. Identify the top three most popular sketches/ideas in your art gallery.
    8. TAKE ACTION! Try and implement the top three idea/s in your organisation! After all, a good idea that isn’t actioned remains just an idea!
