Visual Collaboration

Have you ever felt stuck with methods, tools, and skills that do not match the increasing complexity you are part of? Would you like to work in new ways that strengthen thinking, communication, and collaboration?

Visual Collaboration introduces a new and innovative way of working and collaborating that will help you successfully manage complexity for yourself, your team, and your entire organisation.

The method of this book unlocks any team's ability to collaborate in complex projects and processes by using a systematic and proven approach to drawing and visualising.

Visual Collaboration is a unique visual business book that will enable you to develop visual languages to fit any scenario, create engaging and powerful questions to assist your visual process design, and turn a white canvas into a visual template that can improve any meeting, project, or process.

The core of the book — a practical and easy-to-follow method, THE FIVE BUILDING BLOCKS — will most likely become your preferred way of working. The method is supported by plentiful examples, 4-colour drawing, chapter summaries, and clearly defined learning objectives. Enjoyable and powerful, this book will help you:
