THE APPLICATION OF STRUCTURED VISUAL THINKING™

There are many ways that meetings, events and conversations get visualised on walls. The main term for this is graphic facilitation.

What it’s not - it’s not note-taking or recording. It’s not sketch notes or mind-mapping. Click to see the difference!

HE WORDS WE ALWAYS USE BUT SELDOM STOP TO CONSIDER

VISION (FROM THE LATIN VISIO, TO SEE.)

Here’s one baseline for the world we are in. There are many. They are very likely to impact where your business is headed and will certainly inform where it needs to navigate.
