How will you tell you organisations story in 2016? #engagement #e4s
‘Providing a strong strategic narrative (story) about an organisation, where it’s come from and where it’s going to’ was defined as one of the four key enablers of engagement in David MaCleod’s ‘Engaging for Success’ report to the UK Government.
Have you thought about how you will share your organisations story with both new and existing team members during 2016?
Sharing the strategic narrative visually (e.g. as a ‘rich picture’) is proven to enable better understanding of an organisations vision, strategy and values. This enables better conversations which create a deeper shared understanding of what is required to achieve success for both the organisations and the people within it.

Graphic Recording from Teenage and Young Adult Conference 2015 #ccam #visualthinking #graphic recording
Here’s the graphic recording I created during yesterday’s Teenage and Young Adult Conference in Sheffield focussing on providing care for 16 – 24 year olds with life-limiting illnesses. Representatives from a number organisations working in this important healthcare area were present and the graphic recording will provide them with a visual memory of the event. The graphic recording will be shared more widely to enable those people who weren’t able to attend to understand the key ideas and concepts emerging from the event.

Woodland Trust 10 Year Vision Rich Picture Update
As promised a couple of weeks ago, here’s a quick update on the rich picture I’m creating to help communicate the Woodland Trusts new 10 Year Vision.
After reviewing all the available reports, documentation and presentations relating to the new 10 year vision and meeting with a number of key stakeholders involved in the work, I created version 1 of the rich picture. I then ‘pressure tested’ this with a cross-section of people across the organisation (including the CEO and other representatives from the various parts of the Woodland Trust).
I’m now in the process of using the feedback from the pressure testing session and other additional feedback to create the final version of the 10 year vision. Here are a few teaser images from the rich picture:
I’ll provide a further update in a few days when the rich picture is completed.

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?
