Visual Notetaking 

Bring a meeting or event to life with a visual summary that will help participants engage and retain knowledge. Our notetakers capture key insights with words and visuals to enhance the learning experience and create an artifact that lives on past the meeting or event.

Knowledge Walls 

Engage participants with a live, interactive mural where participants respond to a prompt and see their answers drawn live. Gather feedback and collect stories while our notetakers create a visual that shows diversity of thought and illustrates common ground.

Live Strategy Mapping 

Visually map strategic conversations to create connections between ideas and build a foundation for effective strategic planning. Live strategy mapping is ideal for strategic planning meetings, project and team kick-offs, and company and team retreats.

We offer workshops for beginners getting started with notetaking for personal or professional use and workshops for experienced notetakers who want to elevate their impact in strategic planning conversations.
