Drawing in the disconnected @ Connect '11

On 8 November 2011, Head Homie Carol Whitworth popped across the pond to speak at international PR agency MSL's inaugural internal communications conference. Connect 11 focused on 'Connecting Digitally Disconnected Employees' and brought together delegates from across the USA, from organisations including Mars, John Deere, GE, Rolls Royce, VW, JetBlue, Allecon and Nationwide.

Always smart, funny and on the money, Carol's talk on using visual maps and great design to bring business strategy to life showed that not only did a picture paint a thousand words, but that anyone could draw - with a novel exercise involving tea bags energising and inspiring her audience.

A sprinkling of case studies showed how Home uses visual thinking to help businesses talk to their people and generated a real buzz around what Home can do for organisations both in the UK and USA, as we begin to build on our new partnership with MAD.
