The Challenge

We sometimes struggle away on our computers, organizing our tasks and trying to get work done between meetings. However, when problems crop up that require more complex thinking, our tools often lack the ability to help us make the creative jump or break down tricky issues.

Digital Tools

Work has taken a digital form to how we approach our problems, and I think we forget that drawing and visual thinking is even an option to use for solving those problems. It’s not as common and it requires a conscious effort to break free from our digital toolbox.

In House, Remote & Off-site

I’ve facilitated workshops using Dave Gray’s playbook as a foundation for hands-on visual thinking exercises intended to help people work through problems through visual thinking. I have done several workshops, in-house and remotely, using digital workspace tools like Mural for visual collaboration to improve problem-solving, communication, and collaboration.

Shared Understanding

People have a chance to express themselves and their thoughts and ideas. They feel like they can contribute. It helps with shared understanding between people and departments and aligns the teams.

Safe Place to Share Ideas

Workshops allow people to share their thoughts without having the problem of the loud person always taking up the room. It gives a chance for everyone’s ideas to be heard and discussed.

Growing Team Culture

I've seen how using visuals in meetings, conversations, and individual work has helped teams come together and build a stronger team culture. As a result, teams work more effectively and collaboratively.
