Visual Communication - 2 day bikablo basics - No drawing skills required

Visual communication, also known as visualisation, is the process of conveying ideas, information or messages using visual elements in place or in addition to words. It relies on imagery, symbols, colours, shapes, typography and design to communicate meaning and engage an audience.

Because most people are visual, the combination of words and imagery make visualisation a powerful tool in real-time settings such as presentations, workshops, coaching sessions, trainings and meetings.As images work on an intuitive level, visual tools increase the level of engagement, improving communication and collaboration within the work environment, and makes learning from each other more impactful.

In this workshop, we will be using the bikablo® technique, which opens the door to the world of visual thinking and dialogue. Bikablo is a visual language developed in Germany by Martin Hausmann and has used for over 15 years to benefit thousands of learners who apply it to enhance their communication skills.Bikablo has been successfully used for years by global organisations like Accenture, Bayer, SAP, Vodaphone and many more.

Irrespective of your artistic talent, you will learn visual language that you can use for notes in small formats as well as for flip charts and pin boards.

Bikablo is a visual language & drawing technique developed and refined in Germany by Martin Hausmann over 15 years. The Bikablo technique uses German rigour in its step by step process, clear rules and easy to follow method. This systematic technique allows people who cannot draw learn how to in a day.

Research has shown that Powerpoint presentations are not able to keep the focus and attention while Bikablo gives you the tools to create engagement, participation and dialogue.

The Bikablo visualisation technique helps you to structure and present ideas and explain strategies and processes simply. It also increases participation in team discussions as it is more inclusive with everyone being able to see their contribution in real time.

This results in a visual record which is clear, attractive, creates a common understanding which is easy to recall.
