- Invites deeper discussion and dialogue on the issues presented
- Encourages big picture thinking, reducing conflict, leading to greater alignment on objectives.
- Helps to create clarity and focus in multiple language environments

What is Graphic Recording & Visual Facilitation?
Graphic Recording is a visual representation of the contents of workshops and conferences.
Visual facilitation is the process of identifying, expressing, and moving ideas and conversations forward using visual tools, models, and methods. In a business world of growing complexity and challenges for our attention, there is an urgent need for clarity in our communication, identifying and expressing a clear and compelling vision as a leader, and having a broader range of tools for team engagement as a facilitator.
In our interactive workshop will give you a working foundation on the tools, skills and strategies to energize group processes, improve decision making and boost engagement using visuals.
We will learn how to:
- create a foundation in the tools of Visual Thinking & Graphic Recording
- build core skills of Graphic Recording in listening, synthesizing, drawing, writing quickly and legibly, combining images and words to create meaning and use colours effectively
- create a “whole-brain friendly” language of visual elements, icons and metaphors to energize your business communications
- apply Visual Recording skills to Visual Facilitation, design a meeting or training with visuals
- communicate concepts and structures using simple visuals through a series of simple questions and perceptual frameworks
- create more “Wow’s” in your programs with specialized templates and tools for group learning processes
- expand and integrate visual tools into your facilitator's toolkit using visuals for a variety of business setting including agenda design, participant check-in, action planning, decision making, strategic visioning, idea mapping, brainstorming
- create engaging flipcharts and facilitation templates

Message from the Organizer and Assistant Facilitator
Yoshioka Hideyuki (Hideyuki Yoshioka) Representative Director, Knowledge Sign, Inc.
Tim Hamons is probably the best graphic recorder in the world as far as I can tell. I met with Tim for the first time at the IAF Asia Conference in Singapore in 2014. At that time, Tim gave us a 2-hour workshop facilitatorated, but I was amazed at how wonderful it was. Until that time I did not know anything about Tim and had no prior arrangements and I was summarizing in a real time graphics recording while watching the progress of me at the corner of the hall but I did not notice it myself Important key messages of the workshop, relationships between workshop flow and learning were magnificently expressed, showing the power of graphic recording.
I am truly honored that you can invite Tim from Singapore and host such a workshop this time. I want to look into the world of graphic recording a bit, as a pro, I want to aim for a higher one, or want to touch the possibility of a visual in a facilitation, give a great awareness to various people, new learning I truly believe it will be the starting point for my journey.
