It is the the creation of hand-drawn visual notes for a meeting, keynote, or other large-scale gathering. Graphic recording is a wildly useful way to visualize key concepts, map complexity, and engage meeting participants. I typically draw in-person at a large scale, but graphic recording can also be useful in virtual settings.
OK. I get that. Why use graphic recording?
Creates understanding
by visualizing complex ideas and mapping relationships
Accelerates alignment
People leave meetings with a storytelling visual
Enables innovation
by making clear connections between ideas
Drives engagement
Content and meetings are more fun
Sounds useful. Who do you work with?
For over twenty years I have used this practice to help (literally!) hundreds of organizations make sense of complexity, communicate more effectively, and accelerate alignment and innovation. My collaborator list runs across nearly every industry and includes multi-national companies and local non-profits alike.
