Applying Visual-Thinking

The foundational ideas of Visual-thinking rely on our inherent visual-spatial abilities. Research estimates that close to eighty-five percent of our perception and cognition are mediated through vision.

Ideasutra uses this innate human ability to help organisations visualise better business outcomes. We use a variety of models and frameworks to help articulate propositions that may be based on your team’s experience and instinct, but which are hard to articulate using conventional business tools.

Storytelling is a vital part of all of our activities. We use a wide gamut of techniques, ranging from Narrative methods such as Design Fiction and Speculative Design, to visualisation frameworks that promote divergent thinking.

These methods that we use are not new and are often used the world’s leading organizations.

Product Managers at Amazon, for instance, use Narrative techniques such as imaginary Press Release as a way to visualize value generated in the near future. Intel is another example of a firm that has used narrative design methods such as Design-Fiction to visualize long term market evolution.

Ideasutra’s unique Visual-Thinking workshops are designed to help business leaders visualise the future, validate their decisions and effectively communicate and execute using visual methods that are concise, clear and most importantly visible to each stakeholder involved.
