Intended for:

For team and project managers, experts whose productivity is determined by the speed and efficiency of communication.

​

Challenge:

 

The productivity of professionals and teams is largely determined by the effectiveness of communication. However, even with the best efforts, sometimes communication is not effective. People misunderstand what the other said, do not see the causes of problems, do not see the connection and sequence of actions, creating huge problems for themselves and those around them. Why does this happen? One of the reasons is the practice of using a spoken or written message in communication.

​

Aristotle already said that "the soul thinks in images". Folk wisdom also says that "a picture is worth a thousand words". However, the preparation of visual presentations takes a long time, not every organization has a freely available designer, and the use of images found on the Internet is restricted by copyright. That's why we use the most easily available tools - verbal message - on a daily basis.

​

Is there a quick and practical solution to this situation?

 

Answer "YES" allows Visualization of the message. However, more nuanced questions must be answered on the way to a solution:

​

Why is visualization NOT art? What are the objectives of the message? What can and cannot be visualized? How to find the visual essence of the message? How to speed up communication with visual codes? How to create visual metaphors? How to use visualization digitally?

​

Answers to these questions - in Dace Anderson's seminar "Visualizing the message".

​

Benefits of the course:

Improved communication efficiency of seminar participants with:

• handy handouts for repetition and skill maintenance..

​

Course format:

​

• Feedback to the participants in the learning process and in the implementation of homework.

• Participants will go home with a life-applicable "Check list", how to prepare a visual message and a small but immediately applicable visual dictionary.
