Services
Graphic Recording
Capturing the critical highlights and group genius as it unfolds throughout the course of the gathering, using words, images and icons to generate a real-time visual map. The building of this map during the meeting contributes greatly to the success of the participants in following what has been covered, what may be missing, what still needs more detail and where the next steps are. The resulting mural sized or flip chart sized map will become a living document that can be used to reflect on what was covered, to bring missing stakeholders up to date, to remind the team what was covered in the last meeting and as a stimulating visual record that engages at a higher level than typed minutes of a meeting.
Meeting/Workshop Documentation
Full-service workshop documentation. This is particularly powerful for trainings and workshops. A real time web journal or PowerPoint document will be created with typed synthesis of critical discussions, pictures of activities and participants as they engage, and high-resolution digital photos of the work produced by graphic recorders and participants. This allows all participants to fully engage in the process of learning, without having to be concerned with detailed note-taking. All participants will receive the documentation file complete with words and images to restimulate their learning and organized the content for more detailed work on their own.
