Why is MAGICVISUALS needed?

I use live visualisations to support modern dialogue formats between people and in teams,
that are undergoing change or who are at the start of a new project:

I synthesize and translate through a visual web of information,
values and feelings and thus give meaning to the upcoming change.

With my extensive experience in change projects and teamwork, I support
gained from complex transformation processes.

In breakthrough processes for change, digestion processes often run differently than imagined – back to zero (or even worse) are the unintended consequences

Because:

Ability to change is required to tackle and implement regenerative paradigm shift projects
The connection of heart and brain in everyone involved is a prerequisite for utilising complexity alone and as a team
A picture is worth a thousand words (and addresses cognitive, intuitive and emotional aspects at the same time)

Through visual synthesis, MAGICVISUALS improves the capacity for change in people and groups in a new way.

This novel ability to change causes that…

…people move more quickly from talking to powerful doing
…one’s own attitudes and attitudes (mindsets) are questioned
…collaboration and innovation powerfully gets off the ground
…new and unfamiliar things are supported and not fought against

Connecting values and feelings and incorporating them in the transformation process – this is where the visual magic happens

Change happens at the breakthrough moment: the new can be felt and sensed (individually and in the team)

Who does MAGICVISUALS help?

From many years of experience as a change specialist I know: the greatest added value of MAGICVISUALS arises in collaboration with other specialists (e.g. workshop facilitators or organizational developers).

Together, we understand the complexity of transformation processes and are experts in designing and implementing transformative workshops.

In such workshops, MAGICVISUALS provides new approaches to transformation.

That’s why MAGICVISUALS never works alone in a workshop but always at least in pairs (never host alone).

This is what I offer with MAGICVISUALS:

Simple visual facilitation of modern dialogue formats (such as World Cafés, constellations, FishBowls, Generative Dialogues without further active workshop involvement)
Complex use (in strategy/innovation or collaboration processes): Joint planning, design and execution of single or multiple workshop formats/sequences (each visually supported).
Complex process support: visual storytelling and consulting as a process co-leader through joint planning, design, execution and monitoring of a longer lasting process (speciality: implementation of self-managment and collaboration towards a circular economy).

Prices by arrangement (depending on initial situation, complexity and duration of use)

The more often change is visually supported, the more powerfully new things are brought into the world as a team

Work examples

MAGICVISUALS has already been able to help conceive, design and accompany the following jointly complex change processes:

Teamwork towards trusting collaboration

Initial situation: Foundation-funded project in the circular economy to identify and then catalyze collaborative pilot projects in the Swiss mattress industry.
Added-value of MAGICVISUALS: The visual facilitation helped the start-up organization and the value chain to reflect and ultimately found the current mattress alliance association (www.matratzen-allianz.ch)
“It had helped us a lot in the team that Jan had visualized the project inputs as well as our dialogue on the whiteboard in a simple and understandable way”
– Felix Meier, Managing Director Pusch

Collaboration of different consultants

Initial situation: Various consultants from sustainability address only a fraction of Swiss SMEs with different offers. The first attempt of a joint market development was not successful, now the collective awareness for concrete joint actions shall be created in a 2nd attempt.
Added-value of MAGICVISUALS: The visual accompaniment helped everyone to make “the elephant” in the room visible.
«MAGICVISUALS helps you develop an understanding of transformation with insights that we don’t even have on our radar – and are difficult to put into words.”»
– Olmar Albers, Managing Director öbu
