Unleash the Power of Graphic Recording
Transform your ideas into captivating visuals
What is Graphic Recording?
Graphic recording, also known as visual note-taking or graphic facilitation, captures and represents information visually in real-time. This visualisation and sense-making tool can be used in online or in-person gatherings. This process involves deep listening to synthesise shared information into an easy to navigate graphic; where we capture the key ideas, themes, patterns, spoken and unspoken words delivered in the shared conversations.

A Visualisation and Sense-Making Tool
Graphic Recording is more than just a pretty picture. It is a tool that helps participants understand complex information by synthesising it into an easy-to-navigate graphic. By deep listening and capturing both spoken and unspoken words, we create a visual summary that enhances comprehension and creates a shared understanding among your audience.
Documentation
Graphic recordings serve as visual documentation of the event, capturing the essence of discussions, decisions made, and ideas generated. They can be used as visual assets that are used to recap, summarise, capture insights, and review sessions for past and future work.
Our graphic harvesting services are adaptable to various settings including conferences, workshops, brainstorming sessions, strategic planning meetings, and team collaborations to facilitate communication, foster creativity, and enhance understanding among participants. The effectiveness of seeing your ideas, plans and actions on paper as a picture, brings clarity to the complexity of what you are working on, allowing you to see it in one space.
