Session outline:

The term “Big Picture” is used by many visual communication consultancies. In the case of Couravel they use Big Pictures to:

• Help leadership teams articulate their strategies
• Improve managers communication and coaching skills
• Engage with employees to provide Line of Sight from “my job” to the Big Picture

Mike will illustrate the approach with reference to recent case studies and reflect on some of the successes and challenges encountered.

 

An interactive session will focus on particular challenges that organisations using this approach face, including:

• How to win the buy-in of leadership and managers to a visual communication approach which is new to many
• How to develop good quality conversations so that the picture is simply used as a tool to develop more effective communication about the strategy and what it means for me
• How to measure the success of the process

 

Couravel Limited is a change and communication consultancy that works with Leadership teams, and HR, Marketing and Communication professionals to help deliver change through their people so that they can increase revenue, customer service or productivity.

What is VizThink?

November 6, 2008 – 1:55 pm

VizThink London is a community for the encouragement and study of “Visual Thinking”. Visual thinkers are people who use any form of the visual arts such as graphic design, illustration, photos, video, animations, sketches, 3D, etc. for communications and learning in business and across all sectors.

VizThink’s goal is to bring together the best of the best in our industry with participation from trainers, marketers, presenters, executives, planners, strategists, and managers, just to name a few. We also aim to bring in those that may not have recognised themselves as Visual Thinkers just yet, and help nurture those skills.

We believe that by bringing these diverse groups together, we’ll create a community that can take the industry to a new level and we invite you to take part.
