“Draw out the ideas”

Listening, conceptualizing, mapping, illustrating, visualising, charting,
sketching, representing, revising, discovering…


At this stage, it’s about finding the pictures. Making the critical concepts visible.
Letting the story tell itself in images. Using pictures or diagrams to make the
salient points impossible to miss. If a picture is worth a thousand words,
a metaphor is worth a thousand pictures.

We’ve helped people accomplish this in a variety of ways.
Sometimes we have drawn on papered walls to capture ideas
during meetings, charted the life stories of people and organizations
as murals, or drawn various “timescapes” to help communicate an
organization’s history to others.

First we listen, then we mirror, connect, and clarify.
We storyboard essential elements, and then draw pictures,
all as a collaborative process. We endeavor to tell real stories in more
visual ways. The successful result is seeing the ideas come to life.

“My favorite canvas is a blank one.”
