Live Scribing Methods
Colibri offers 3 methods of Graphic Recording
Digital Scribing
Imagine a large conference where your audience is being entertained and educated by a dynamic speaker or subject focused panel. Off to the side of the room on a medium size screen we are capturing in words and images the presentation as it’s unfolding. Rather than distract, this synchronous approach amplifies the message your speakers are offering.
Attendees at events love having digital scribing in the room. It supports whole brain learning by providing visual and kinesthetic learners a method to absorb and retain information.
Analog Scribing
This has been our signature approach for more than 20 years. There is nothing like seeing a large engaging display in your room that was created from the content of your speakers.
People can come up a see the story unfold one large sheet of paper. The original can be used to put up in your work area as an information and communication document. Digital copies of the large chart can be made and distributed to all your stakeholders.
Graphic Facilitation
As the words describe graphic facilitation is about a person (facilitator) helping group process be more productive through the use of image, words and color. Analog scribing is combined with a wide range of facilitated methodologies to provide a full experience for meeting attendees.
The graphic facilitator helps the group through process while capturing key information on large sheets of paper. The information is used by attendees to serve multiple purposes from understanding the history of the subject to envisioning the future.
We can use multiple methods customized for your project
Digital Scribing
- Good for the environment. No paper or ink is used
- We can quickly provide the information in multiple formats for post event presentations
- Information gathered can be distributed as the event closes giving you a novel way to follow up with your attendees
Analog Scribing
- See the whole and the parts of any presentation on one sheet of large paper
- It can be used in real time as a conversation starter for people in attendance to dialog on a specific part of the presentation
- The large display makes a great backdrop to use for a small group presentation or for people to photograph themselves
Graphic Facilitation
- Facilitation helps the people gathered to develop a shared understanding of the subject
- Better group understanding of a subject result in better decision making
- The information gathered can be used multiple times over longer periods
So you have helped us capture information, what’s next?
How do we use the work?
We facilitate the gathering of information throughout your project and use multiple mediums to communicate your work from simple digitally formatted synthesis charts, more complex video and animated narratives to communicate the outcomes of your project
- Digitally rendered copies of all charts
- Customized presentation decks
- We work with you to build narratives for larger more complex facilitation and presentation sessions to leverage or extend the life of your project
