Innovation, Technology & Futurists

Some of Promenade’s featured innovation speakers for insurance and financial services groups are profiled here. Creative thinking can come from fields as varied as neuroscience, technology, sports, futurism, film-making, design, science fiction, the corporate suite, agriculture and academia.

An underused yet effective tool to amplify learning is to add a “graphic recorder/visual storyteller”. These professionals illustrate a keynoter’s message in real-time on stage.

You’re left with a finished canvas that can be distributed as a physical takeaway and posted on social media. Or you can crowdsource ideas with social listening boards. Many of us are visual learners, so professional education is often better retained when accompanied by this holistic snapshot of the full concept.

Visual thinking workshops are another way to facilitate more innovative thinking, strategy, product development and team-building. Ask us for talent from our global network!:

Graphic Recorders, Visual Storytellers and Visual Note-Takers, Social Listening Boards and Walls.
