I help businesses visualise, communicate, learn and work smarter. I offer the following consulting services. What would you like to do?

 

Become more innovative and productive as a social business

Help staff and customers master new skills

Traditionally workplace learning has been about listening in workshops or reading e-learning modules followed by a multi-choice quiz. The reality is people learn better and faster outside of these formal training events. They can Google it, join groups within their social networks, access experts all over the world, then blog and tweet about what they learn. Plus people don't really want to go on another training day because they'll get behind in their work in the real world.

So what should you do instead?

I combine game design techniques, behavioural psychology and social learning to make mastering new skills part of the normal workflow. The result? Behavioural games - game-like experiences that lead to enjoyment, engagement and mastery.

I help businesses to design:

  • Behavioural games for workplace learning and development
  • Behavioural games for induction
  • On the job learning resources for processes, software, sales, compliance and customer service
  • Social learning strategies
  • Coaching and mentoring programmes

 

Visualise information

Presenting ideas and information visually creates more clarity and agreement than words alone. When everyone can see what you're thinking they can agree, make decisions and take action quickly.

How can you make your data, reference material, proposal or meeting notes more visual?

I help businesses to design: 

  • Infographics (like these)
  • Visual notes from meetings or talks
  • Visual quick reference guides (printed or online)
  • Supporting visuals for proposals and reports

Got an iPad?

I also teach people how to draw and share ideas using their iPad, a finger (or stylus) and some clever iPad apps.

 

Tell the story

Research shows that brains process information best in the form of stories. Stories put information into context and give meaning to all the facts and figures you have to share. People can easily connect with and share your story with others.

How can you explain your idea, process, product, service, app, device or strategy using a story?

I help businesses to design:

  • Explanatory videos (here's one I designed)
  • Change communications and animations
  • Presentations
  • Storyboards

 

Solve problems and discover ideas

In this knowledge worker economy, you need to solve creative problems and discover new processes, business models and products. The question is, "how do you get there?" By applying design thinking techniques you can Post-it, draw, role-play, collaborate on and prototype your next big idea.

I help businesses to:

  • Run collaborative discovery workshops to generate ideas and inspiration
  • Identify and refine the most promising ideas
  • Produce models and prototypes

 

One page Web site design

The information on most small business Web sites can be summed up in a couple of pages. Why not in one page?

Whether your a squash coach or a vehicle servicing business, more often than not one page does the trick.

I help businesses to design one page Web sites that:

  • Explain their product, service or app
  • Encourage their customers to take action
  • Link with social media marketing

Of course you may need more than one page. I can do that too.
