Whether meeting in person, virtually, or in a hybrid format, we design and facilitate collaborative processes to foster creativity across systems.
We use design thinking principles to host truly engaging meetings that include time for individual reflection, group dialogue, and more creative interventions. Activities like system sculpting, leadership journey mapping, and private writing can activate participation across different learning styles.
In the virtual meeting space, we also use platforms like MURAL, Miro, Jambard, Padlet, and Google Docs to engage participants.
These activities help individuals and groups reflect, create shared meaning, work toward a common goal and crystalize their insights.
It is especially helpful when there is a need for a shift in mindset, more creative approaches, and fresh ideas, or when a group simply needs help to connect on a deeper level.
Our creative approach to facilitation, combined with live graphic recording, creates a powerful container for learning, connection, and change.
Facilitation engagements are usually booked between 3-6 months in advance. If you are considering hiring us, reach out today!
A Social Listening Mural is a great tool for building engagement and excitement in a meeting or conference. Participants offer insights on a compelling question and illustrators listen to responses to create a dynamic mural in real time.
An Engagement Wall or Commitment Wall is in some ways more straightforward than the Listening Mural, in that the canvas is designed with a title and some anchor illustrations in advance, but is intended to be engaged by participants only.
They can be very simple, as in the example on the right, or more elaborate like the example below.

This Commitment Wall (left) is a kind of Social Engagement activity and is more complex, with customized stickers designed in advance. It was designed to be used continuously throughout an 8-hour conference day, during breaks, and over lunch. The final image with all the commitments is shared with participants after the conference as a “thank you,” reminder, and celebration of the done throughout the day.
The Social Listening Mural and Commitment Wall can be combined into one activity. For example, participants can map ideas on their own, and illustrators can also help organize ideas and illustrate around them, as in this example
