If you want a think tank or gather a group around ideas, you want participants build on each other’s knowledge, creating a sense of teamwork and cooperation. Through Visual Harvesting we can connect different ideas, we can get an idea flow going and create new connections that get people to think in new ways. By using visual templates we can structure the conversation to encourage participation, productivity and ownership.
If you are planning participatory events, Visual Harvesting spontaneously creates a map and offers synthesis in visual form. It gives an answer to a multitude of learning styles and abilities. When presented in large format, all participants can easily stay on the task. By seeing the relationships and key concepts highlighted, it facilitates understanding and consensus more quickly and enables group wisdom to become apparent.
If you want to achieve more with your team, Visual Harvesting offers a new way to communicate a point, concept or story. It’s a perfect way to address the needs of the 85% of the population who call themselves "visual learners". Visual Harvesting creates a synthesis that influences thinking and feeling in a meaningful way.
If you’re planning a conference and you want it to be memorable, I create large wall charts using colour and visual metaphors to clarify ideas and simplify the concepts introduced during presentations. Participants love to watch the words take a life of their own as an artful composition emerges before their eyes. Visual Harvesting gains its power from seeing the image being drawn live. With the pictures of the harvest, participants are able to go back to the experience where that image has been drawn. It’s as much about the information, as it is about the memory that comes with that image.
Visual Harvesting is a proven solution for enhancing, retaining and building upon nuggets of valuable information.
Give yourself the experience by viewing the visual maps of some recent management books. Check my blog for examples.
