The Orange Room went back to the drawing board — literally. 

ImageThink  graphics facilitator Heather Willems drew her interpretation of TODAY all morning long on Friday, covering everything from the JFK anniversary to Thanksgiving meals. 

Willems and her company have helped create visuals for large meetings and conferences, but she said drawing a live television broadcast was a first for the company.

Discussion with Heidi Forbes Oste on the Value of Visual Practice

As part of her wider research into the tools and methodologies used by the next generation of global leaders, Heidi Forbes Oste has started down the path of researching the value of “visual practice” (visual facilitation, graphic recording, mindmapping, sketch-noting, etc.)

As a piece of her dissertation, Heidi’s research on the visual practice, although still in the early stages, focuses on how it supports leadership and global teams using social technologies.

In this one-hour webinar with Alphachimp's Peter Durand, Heidi answered questions and gave insight into the broader trends at the intersection of social systems, collaborative technology, visual learning, innovation and global leadership.

Bigger Picture: TEDx Copenhagen 2012

Ready for a 13 minute ride of an entire TEDx Event? TEDx Copenhagen (http://tedxcopenhagen.dk/) took place September 18th 2012 in Bremen Theater. This is your chance to connect the dots in a timelapse video by Bigger Picture.

Ole Qvist-Sørensen of Bigger Picture was also on stage at the big event, encouraging people to draw together.

We must draw more together. We all know that a picture is worth a 1000 words. Pictures can convey complex information in a way, which is natural for our brains to grasp. Visual thinking is a gift we all have and drawing is an easy and simple way to show and involve others in understanding -- or seeing -- what we mean. Drawing together can be seen as a collective meaning-making process for a group. It's easy to learn. It's intuitive. It starts with pen, paper and curiosity.
