Our added value: visual language
WHAT IS IT?
The Visual Language is a complete system of tools and methodology that allows connecting ideas and intentions, to make them arrive and so that they contribute to generating new knowledge. Visual Thinking or thinking based on images goes beyond drawing or doodling: it is a complete language, with its vocabulary and grammar, which allows aligning teams and creating commitment. It is the common language that allows us to reach solutions and compromises, and visualize possible scenarios.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
As in any language, before speaking you have to listen. When we facilitate a Visual Thinking session, we listen with body and mind aligned, and we express it with simple drawings. And then, the complex becomes tangible and understandable: when we see, we understand almost intuitively. When our words and thoughts are expressed through drawing, we become more aware of what is happening in that space, we understand it better and we can work together on a tangible reality.
< h3 class="elementor-heading-title elementalr-size-default">WHAT DO WE USE IT FOR?Visual facilitation is an efficient and effective tool: it works predictably and achieve the proposed objectives. We apply this language in the strategic and communicative field for all types of teams, from all disciplines: education, social action, business, etc. We improve communication, we generate understanding about what is exposed and, by connecting with ideas and with people, we can aspire to improve shared decisions and the culture of our teams. Visual facilitation simplifies and speeds up processes considerably, which is why in recent times it has become a top-level tool that should be mastered to gain efficiency in countless situations: presentations, classes , negotiations or meetings to make decisions.
WHAT IS IT?
Team coaching is a methodology to improve relationships< /strong> groups, guide them to performance andcreate organizational strength. It helps to go from a group of people to a team that identifies, recognizes individual and collective functions and roles, and relates in a healthy environment.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Coaching activates a team and “starts it up”, generating movement for change: it allows identifying >starting points and finish points, as well as intermediate steps to move forward on the path of creating more effective teams. Interventions allow a team to understand each other and focus their contribution, the why of each organization. We work on the environment in which it operates, we agree on what results are sought and how they are measured, how actions and tasks are organized (meetings, knowledge management, decision making, distribution of tasks, functions, team roles, leadership... ), about what relationships (trust, commitment, conflict, emotions, etc) and, at a deeper level, we look for the dynamics and patterns that generate, favor and, in some cases, hinder all of the above.
WHAT DO WE USE IT FOR?
Combining team coaching with Visual Thinking/Visual Facilitation helps us capture intuitions and ideas that emerge in your team, give them meaning and turn them into a force for change. It serves to improve the coexistence of a team and facilitate deep knowledge and self-knowledge. Promotes shared leadership keys, develops relationships and competencies that positively influence results, helps prioritize actions, develop the action plan and generate greater sustained and sustainable performance .
WHAT IS IT?
The systemic approach allows us to know and act on the set of own elements that they form an organization and its own qualities, the unique characteristics of each team that go beyond the parts that make it up. The system of an organization is always evolving; By working on it, we identify dynamics, patterns, connections, the emergent, the “between”, and its movements. Thanks to the visual language that we apply from this approach, we can represent this movement and put it at the service of the organization.
Our contribution consists of providing meaning and making visible the orderly succession of The elements. We start from the "Guiding Principle", that is, from the origin of the system to break down our "Relevant Facts", the history that has brought us here, the basis of our system.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
It is an inward look that we train through a combination of kinesthetic, visual and linguistic language, to identify who we are and what place we are occupying in the system.
It allows us to be aware of our “here” and our “now ”, and visualize the place we occupy in the system. We integrate an overview of the system, identifying the connection with the people who are at our side, the meaning of our gaze, the relationships and the place we occupy in them.
We connect with our origin, our reason for being, our guiding principle and from there we trace the moments, milestones, successes, failures, people who were there and those who are there today. It helps us to generate the narrative that visualizes the history of the system and the path that brought us here, connecting the role of each member to that narrative. We order the elements and their limits, identifying what remains inside and what we place outside. And again, from
there, we shape the conversations we need to balance the
dynamics
WHAT DO WE USE IT FOR?
To connect history with our contributions, and to generate a system view that recognizes the position of each element and its interactions, to work from there the future we want to build.
WHAT IS IT?
Our contribution consists in the deployment of work methodologies that make possible the systemic view and translate it into visual language. We provide our own tools to go through the entire process and materialize it in deliverables that make the experience tangible. Among others, we work with the methodologies of the Iceberg, River of History, Theory U, Ladder of Inference, World Café, Fishbowl, Jahnsen Window, The Art of Hosting and Harvesting< /strong>, etc.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
We analyze the needs of each organization and each project, and we select the most appropriate mix of methodologies. The "toolbox" of Visual Thinking and the world of facilitation is applied in a flexible and personalized way.
WHAT DO WE USE IT FOR?
Create a meaningful story. The great challenge for organizations and communities is to provide themselves with meaning and a shared interpretation of things. With these methodologies, we manage to position all the participants in a transformative gaze that allows them to jointly envision the future towards which they are heading and build it through drawing. Recognize and focus. It allows the recognition of the plurality of perspectives and contributions and creates a concrete product that allows us to focus in the same direction. Innovate. Visual Thinking is not practiced following the hierarchical structure of an organization, the roles are altered so that everyone can participate and new leaderships are created. Participate. An exercise in Mural Thought requires democratic governance, challenges the ability to jointly build, reach agreements, create consensus, include diversity and be capable of endowing us with unity and a common project. Strengthen teamwork. Transform any group, organization, team or place into a collaborative creation community.
