Visualisations to support focused conversations and meaningful results by accessing our natural visual processing capacity
Graphic Facilitation
Have you experienced the limitations of traditional text-based agendas, meeting minutes and bullet points? Graphic Facilitation (aka Graphic Recording) is the art of story telling with condensing complex information into simple visuals that capture the essence. It is not a replacement for a detailed protocol, but rather an enhancement.
Graphic Facilitation happens in real time, during your event. It adds a new dynamic and opens the possibilities for interactions with participants. Visuals engage a different part of our brain and speak to different parts of our being. This is an opportunity for better communication.

Once the drawing is finished, it can be used for social media, reporting and more. It can shape the visual identity of an event and elements of the drawing can be reused in reports, etc as powerful icons and symbols. Videos of the actual drawing process are always loved and often add a wow factor to company/event videos.

If you, like us, have experienced the limitations of traditional text-based agendas, meeting minutes and bullet points, this workshop is just the thing for you. With simple drawing techniques you will be able to capture big concepts and key pieces of information in an accessible, engaging and fun way, even in real-time so everyone is on
the same page.
Graphic facilitation taps into the visual orientation which is present with most of us – visual cues can help our memory, guide our thought process and allow us to focus on what truly matters. Graphic facilitation combines deep listening, simple drawing techniques and facilitation methodologies to visualise concepts and processes, provide the overview, and build a shared language and ownership around a project, a new strategy or a conference
