The interaction between the participants in a brainstorm often leads to creative solutions. Moreover, participants feel involved in a new approach or optimal solution. During a brainstorming session our cartoonist notes all ideas in a concise, visual way. This rich collection of visual notes can be rearranged and discussed afterwards.

Using a camera or a digital tablet, it is possible to project the work of our cartoonist on a large screen. For instance during a break, showing cartoons that were made on the previous segment. Or even showing the cartoons live, as they are being drawn. Especially with a larger audience this proves to be an excellent way to keep the attention of the participants focused and achieve greater involvement.

By swapping paper or whiteboard for a digital drawing tablet, SketchNotes can be drawn digitally. This offers a number of advantages. The SketchNotes can be projected on a large screen. The notes can also be published on the internet or viewed – and possibly shared – through social media. Fast communication that ensures maximum involvement.

It is precisely the combination of words and images that is most powerful. This combination adds a lot of value to intensive meetings such as brainstorming sessions or mapping new challenges. SketchNoting on whiteboard is another, widely used solution. If a large whiteboard is present at the location, our cartoonist is able to depict the session in one large, continuous drawing.
