Still collaborating
at dial-up speed in a fiber-optic world?

When people work together, online or offline, most communication is based on words, spoken or written. Speaking, writing and reading are examples of narrow-band communication at a speed of about 30-50 bits per second. It takes minutes or even hours to explain a complex concept or system, and to react to it by asking questions or expressing opinions.

Visual communication is wide-band. A picture actually does say more than a thousand words, and a complex concept can be visualised in a way that allows people to grasp it within seconds. This is because the bandwidth of visual communication may be tens, hundreds or even thousands times wider than narrow-band speaking, writing or reading.

Turning collaboration in your organisation from narrow-band to wide-band has potential to both speed up your work, to make your work much more creative, and much more fun. 

Visual collaboration must be learned, just like a foreign language.

If you choose to turn your organisation's collaboration from narrow-band to wide-band, let's talk. This Masterclass might be for you.

Your own board, yours for a year

Every participant gets their own Miro board. A digital twin of the course workspace, set up for you to work your own case. 

You build in it through all seven modules. Your visual language, your process design, your questions, your templates.

It is where the course stops being theory and becomes your own work.

You get the keys on day one. The board stays yours for a year after the course ends. Keep building, reuse it for real work, and come back to it whenever you need it.

 We use this "Course Ecosystem" as visual learning space to support the learning before, during and after the Masterclass. 

Vico, your AI assistant

Vico is available during the Masterclass. Vico is trained on our method, our book, and our libraries of 5000+ icons and 500+ templates.

Vico coaches. It does not do the work for you. It helps you think through the five building blocks, asks the questions a good facilitator would ask, and offers examples when you are stuck.

On-demand video library

The Masterclass is live and interactive. Around it, you get a library of more than 65 short videos and 15 downloadable e-books. Watch them before a session to prepare. Watch them after as a recap. Keep using them as a reference long after the course is over.

What participants say

Michele Seymour
Leadership Development Consultant
Balance Matters - United Kingdom

Thank you for your careful, patient and enthusiastic guidance through each step. The ability to visually design a team programme was great and thought provoking. I learnt how to think creatively and visually about getting teams connected in a more vibrant and effective way as it shortcuts many discussions seeing symbolically what is being discussed. 
Juergen Kleinstuber
Head of Strategic-, and Performance Programs
SAP - Germany

In this course I have learned how to design and facilitate inspiring and engaging online meetings and workshops. With the methods and tools presented in "Visual Collaboration" emotions, interaction and creativity is added to online meetings. Participants are able to see the thinking and ideas of each other. This kind of transparency not only help participants connect with one another in a different way, it is also much easier to remember later. I am now using this method for preparing and running workshops and meetings about learning, sales, project set up, idea-creation and process definition.
Dimitra Dimitrakopoulou
Visiting Assistant Professor
MIT Media Lab USA / University of Zurich, Switzerland. 

What makes this course great is a combination of the facilitator, the content, the visuals, the pacing of the learning, the overall experience! I learnt a new framework of engaging visually with my topic of interest and making remote but also in-person meetings.

Nancy Duarte

This book gives you the building blocks for meetings, processes or projects. It works as a new language for collaboration. In a world where we need tools and approaches to tackle our complex world this book can help you come up with solutions that work.
Olga Svyrydenko
Business Strategy Lead GlobalTraining Partner Program  Microsoft
In my current role at Microsoft I don’t have the luxury of working with people face to face, so we do a lot of joint visualizations on digital whiteboards while connecting team members from all parts of the world. Visual Collaboration provided an extremely helpful method for clarifying goals, working out joint plans and shared responsibilities, and avoiding cultural or language barriers in our teams
Donato Carparelli
Head Global Product Innovation, Schindler Elevator Ltd
