The most valuable insight from a visioning workshop often appears after the workshop.
During the session, ideas connect, assumptions get challenged, and the emerging model becomes clearer. But something interesting happens when the thinking from the workshop is turned into a strategic visual artefact — often a rich picture.
Suddenly new insights appear:
- Missing connections.
- Hidden assumptions.
- Strategic tensions.
In other words, the picture creates a second learning loop.
The workshop improves the thinking. The visual artefact changes the thinking.
I wrote a short article on LinkedIn about how this shows up in the Crackerjack Visioning Process™ ⬇️
