Graphic Recording

Transform your next meeting or conference!

Graphic recording captures ideas on paper in real time, through the creation of a large, hand-drawn map or mural of a discussion or presentation. With just paper, markers, chalk and someone paying attention to everything that happens, the process is creative, unique to the group and reflects what is most important. Working with a presenter or another facilitator, the recorder creates visually relevant images that synthesize key content, themes and group process.

A graphic recording captures and highlights information that is most importnat for your audience or group because they can literally see what was said. Most of us are visual thinkers, so the large scale graphic helps people understand and remember key content and connections.

The recording is also reproduced into a a digital file, for easy preparation of minutes and reports. You will have a complete record of everything important that transpired and people will actually want to read and refer to it!

Increase Participant Engagement

A graphic recording engages your group in discussion. People feel heard and recognized when their words, feelings and insights are captured for everyone to see.

Spark creativity and innovation

The live graphic recording process injects energy into the group. As people see others' ideas unfold before their eyes, they often build off those ideas leading to breakthrough thinking.

Stay focused on the outcomes

Through the use of colour, images, symbols and key words, ideas will be distilled and connected, to keep everyone focused on the goal.
