Graphic Facilitation

Engage a group in real time, and create visual artifacts

Live visual capture of a session allows the group to see the synthesis of their conversation reflected back to them. With text, images and diagrams, the graphic charts help people to stay focused, process complex information, notice connections or gaps, and see how their collected ideas/concepts interrelate. Graphic facilitation is excellent for team start up meetings, and for sessions involving ideation, strategy, vision / mission / values. It’s also an excellent way to capture the key themes of presentations or discussions.

This work can be either analog (drawn on paper) or digital (drawn on the iPad).

Illustration

Summarize your concepts into a comprehensive visual

Custom illustrations allow you to tell a story in a visual form (proven to improve retention over text alone). A well crafted image can show an integrated system or set of ideas, and help people understand the pieces of the big picture & where they fit in. A clear but humble drawing offers a connection to our shared humanity, and is a welcome change from PowerPoint slides. It can offer a mental model to align folks as they move forward on a project or initiative.

Animated Videos

Pull people in with a multi sensory approach.

Hand drawn videos with motion graphics can pull in your viewers right from the start. They’re engaging to watch and they can pack in a lot of information by layering voiceover, visuals and text. They are great to use when you want to:

  • Demonstrate how a process works

  • Help people understand their roles and responsibilities

  • Educate and inspire people to act in a new way

  • Communicate strategy, mission and goals
