When regulatory news prompted the end client’s audit team to set a two-day brainstorming session, ImageThink was the first call. The session was designed to help the end client align on the workforce skillset needed to succeed in the year ahead.  

Additionally, the client also wanted to evaluate the current mission statement against the rapidly changing business environment and ensure that their north star still held water. ImageThink would create a visual summary and exercises to keep a large meeting engaged and to preserve two-days’ worth of insights. 

Carrying out The Mission 

ImageThink partnered with the client to design an agenda full of a visual exercises and brainstorming activities. ImageThink visual strategists synthesized these conversations and insights into a clear roadmap that tracked how the team was carrying out their mission. Real time visual note taking helped focus and guide the conversation so that important decisions could be made about future workforce development needs.
