visual process support

What it is

Strategic visualization offers extra support to a group process. Not so much through the end result (talk picture, illustration, infographic), but rather through the 'making together'.
Visual information is percieved with a different part of the brain than reading and writing; right versus left. In this way, forming an image together also works differently than writing text together, and can give a project a different perspective.

Screenshot

Visualization and Co-creation can also be found in the national KEM Strategy that we contributed to. KEMs are Key Enabling Methodologies; design-related working methods with which the creative sector can contribute to societal transition.
When to use

• In vision formation; recalibrating, experiencing or redrafting a vision
• In project definition or program start-up
• In retrieving and merging information from multiple parties
• In collaborations between parties

Outcome

• you can formulate iteratively more clearly and sharply.
• it strengthens group cohesion and forms a jointly supported end result.
• in collaborations, the system can be better understood and experienced in co-design
• in co-design, powerful interventions and transition paths can be developed that set the system in motion.
We regularly use this method as policy support for the central government. We also use this method in innovation design.

1. Analysis of subject and process

Visual research, both content and process. Through input documents, conversation and observation.

2. Get started yourself (optional)

After a short drawing course, start drawing yourself or individual.

3. Okapi initieert visuals

Vaak zijn dit beelden waarvoor met meerdere mensen of partijen afstemming nodig is voor inzicht en cohesie.

4. Iterative interaction

Bringing people together and visually understanding the project creates a conversation from a different angle.
Screenshot
5. Ownership

During the process visual material for (internal) communication emerges. Images made and carried by the group create support.
Screenshot



6. External communication

Process images are often complex. For external communication, a visualization can be simplified and adapted to the corporate identity.

system visualization

process // overview // interrelationships

System visualization can provide insight to complex (innovative) systems and processes. Overview and interconnections allow you to better relate to the whole and to better identify problem areas and project boundairies.

Combining realism and abstraction creates engagement as realism allows for a more vivid and realistic impact.

image logo

Less is more // impact // simplicity

In a core image, problem, outcome or project is traced back to the core of the story and captured in 1 image. When captured well, complexity would only distract. OR a sub-aspect of a project is highlighted.

The outcome is usually very suitable for external communication. The icon or face of a project. The style in which it is visualized (diagram, conceptual sketch or realistic photo editing) depends on the nature of the project and the project phase.

infographics & data visualization

graphics // charts

An abstract theme can create an impactful image through the combination with realism. We work with data and facts, but look from the visual experience of the viewer.

A complex playing field with multiple variables can also be captured in a single image.

Aspect illustration

sub-aspects // summarized // in short

To highlight and visualize an aspect or element, to give more attention to a specific aspect in a document or presentation. Or as an interim summary or breathing space in text. “In short”.

Visual information has more impact than text and you remember it for a longer time.

journeys

scenarios // persona's // roadmap

The future cannot be predicted, but it can be explored by scenarios for example. A user scenario helps to assess and communicate its consequences; to gain more insight in what could be coming our way and reflect on it. A journey or roadmap can also communicate a new approach.

We research, explore and create visual scenarios, customer journeys and roadmaps.

Artist Impression

future // user context // realism

Some innovations require context or framework to be understood or to better involve and engage others. A sketched impression is more suitable when the idea and the future are further apart. Here suggestion, rather than precision, is important to leave room for interpretation. A realistic photo edit has a more definitive character and is better suited for the near future or in a later phase of a project.

Our artist impressions are shaped on technical and/or written documentation and interviews.

visual storytelling

animation and presentation

“pitch with impact”
We provide storyboards & animation, powerpoint presentations & templates and slide-docs.

animation

storyboarding // management abstract

A storyline is the most ‘old’ and intuitive form of human communication, and lends itself to telling a complex story more easily. In a storyline you can combine multiple aspects into a whole, emphasize aspects, frame them or take a different perspective.
You can contact us for making a pitch, setting up storyboards or translating text to storyboard. The technical creation of the animation is done collaboration with one of our partners.

presentation

projectposter // base presentation // pitch

From a pitch, in addition to animation, a project poster or 'base presentation' can also be formed. The latter can then be adapted for different situations, tailored to the audience and purpose of the presentation.

You can contact us for the distillation of a pitch or management abstract from a complex innovative project and translation thereof to a project poster or basic presentation.
