My new book is out now

You’ve got a bold vision and a strategy to achieve it! But why does your company seem to be standing still? Why is the gap between what strategy promises and what it delivers so vast and disheartening? And what to do about it?

Speaker:

Can you draw it?

Speaker:

This simple question is one of the most powerful tools to make

Speaker:

your communication clearer.

Speaker:

Because when you can draw it, it means that you can see it.

Speaker:

And when you can see it, it means that it's concrete.

Speaker:

What you think can be abstract, but what you see, or even

Speaker:

draw, will always be concrete.

Speaker:

And that's a huge bonus when you want me to see it, too.

Let's say you think:

“We're innovative.” This can mean very specific things to you.

Let's say you think:

You know exactly in which way your innovative.

Let's say you think:

But at the same time, it means nothing to me.

Let's say you think:

Or at least something completely different than you think it does.

Let's say you think:

It's a different game when you show or at least tell me what innovative looks like.

Let's say you think:

Then we can look at it together and I can much more easily tell

Let's say you think:

whether I see the same as you do.

Let's say you think:

And whether I like what I see.

Let's say you think:

So, what does it look like when you improve the process?

Let's say you think:

What does it look like when you increase production quality?

Let's say you think:

And what does it look like when we perform better as a team?

Let's say you think:

Can you draw it?
