TRANSFORMATION PLANT HANOVER

Process optimization, strategy, cultural work and good communication are key to the VW Nutzfahrzeuge plant management Hanover in leading the way to a successful future. In the past, strategy and transformation processes were often accompanied by powerpoint "battles".There were numerous charts that tried to make it as comprehensible as possible what goals the company wanted to achieve and how it planed to get there.

Now the company wants to go other ways and has developed a vision for the future together with Goldpark and DIALOGBILD. On the one hand, the picture emerged in an intensive process, on the other hand, the discussion about the things that are important to the board in the picture led to a common understanding and also made it possible for different perspectives to be discussed and brought together.

This helps the Hannover plant to communicate its way into the the future with a common voice.

Thanks to the close cooperation between Goldpark and DIALOGBILD, the dialog picture was used for all events, informations and formats that relate to the transformation as well as to reflect the developments in the transformation process.

BEST PRACTICE DAY 2019

Staufen is an international Lean Management consultancy focusing on process and leadership optimization according to Lean principles. DIALOGBILD documented the annual "Best Practice Day" congress with a digital graphic recording, serving as a summary for internal company events and as a social media recap.

OUR WAY. OUR FUTURE.

THE FUTURE PICTURE FOR TÜV RHEINLAND

The TÜV Rheinland Group is a leading provider of technical services worldwide. Founded in 1872 and headquartered in Cologne, the Group employs 20,000 people, 8,000 of them are based in Germany. It generates annual revenues of € 1.88 billion. The Group′s mission and guiding principle is to achieve sustained development of safety and quality in order to meet the challenges arising from the interaction between man, technology and the environment.

TÜV Rheinland started a comprehensive change program which addressed a new strategy, projects to improve internal processes and changes of the company culture and leadership culture.

In order to ensure that everyone has the same understanding of the future basic principles, strategy and values of the company, TÜV Rheinland decided to create a dialog picture. The objective was to stimulate the exchange of the most important topics, which TÜV Rheinland will be dealing with in the upcoming years. The creation of the dialog picture was a very complex project which was accompanied by the team of DIALOGBILD over several months.

HUNT FOR BUSINESS

The Sartorius AG is a publicly listed pharma and laboratory supplier seated in Göttingen. Sartorius possesses its own manufacturing plants in Europe, Asia and the Americas and further possesses sales branches and sales agencies in over 110 countries. In the year 2022, the German pharma and laboratory supplier employed 15,942 employees worldwide. The bio-technology segment encompasses the focus on filtration, fluid management, fermentation, purification and laboratory.

The mechatronics segment especially produces tools and systems for weighing, measuring and automation for laboratory and industrial use. We developed a dialog picture for the sales conference 2024 based on the topic “Customer Support Center Strategy”. In order to represent the individual phases in a striking fashion, we employed the metaphor of the hunt.

TOGETHER. TODAY. TOMORROW.

The 2019 HELM Annual Meeting at the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce was held under the motto "Together. Today. Tomorrow."

DIALOGBILD accompanied the event with three illustrators as part of a graphic recording project, visually capturing the emotions of the attendees and the program content, both on the main stage and in the other sessions. The content on the main stage was visualized analogously on a 2 x 1 m canvas. The content in the three rooms on the upper floor was captured digitally.

The results were subsequently compiled into a thank-you card and sent to employees. Furthermore, the results were used in internal communications on the intranet and in the employee magazine.

CONSTRUCTING FOR THE MEDICINE OF TOMORROW

The future of medicine remains the defining factor for hospital real estate. Patient-centered, profitable, digital, and flexible are the key terms. Practice determines which measures will effectively and sustainably improve patient care. The world of hospital real estate is undergoing a transformation: How can technological change in construction be sustainably integrated? How can the patient remain the focus during infrastructure changes? How can innovation in hospitals be implemented effectively and profitably? These and other questions were discussed at the 12th Immohealthcare Congress. DIALOGBILD accompanied the digital event with a graphic recording. Key takeaways were illustrated alongside the presentations, resulting in a visual record that serves as a clear summary for participants and can also be used for further communication of the content.

BANKS ON THE MOVE

At the bank conference 2017 in Frankfurt, industry representatives, experts and pioneers met to discuss the future of the financial business and its digital emergence.

Fin techs and banks - enemy or ally? What stands behind "digital ecosystems", what did the experiments of the "Innovation Lab" and what role could "crowd investing portals" play in the future? In the Future Banking Lounge, cooperations, optimizations and trends were discussed and the potential of digital innovations explored.

The viewers were able to follow the graphic recording of our illustrator live on a TV monitor and had fun with the humorous translation of the spoken word into pictures. The speakers were also delighted about the visual illustration of their ideas. Thus, the resulting image in creative form honored the contributions of all those involved and also serves as a souvenir map through two content-rich congress days.

7 LEADERSHIP PRINCIPLES

We were tasked by Continental to create visualizations in a dialogue picture of guidelines for high-level personnel. At an international meeting of top managers, we provided them with a background. The managers described their ideas during several workshops, which we further developed with the help of two illustrators. Thus a large dialogue picture was created measuring 4 x 2 m over the course of a day.

The background developed first represents a modern test track. We used this as an creative starting point, since the second part of the high-level personnel meeting actually took place at this track. Each guideline point was assigned a particular location in the picture in which the appropriate scenes would be represented. In order to explain the goal of the workshops and to clarify to the participants the dialogue picture method, we developed an informational leaflet with possible results and an empty landscape. After the meeting further revision including colorizing was carried out on the individual scenes. From this the final dialogue picture was developed, which is now used world-wide for training purposes.

ACTIVE, REGIONAL, DEDICATED

olksbank eG Osterholz Bremervörde is a German cooperative bank based in Osterholz-Scharmbeck. With total assets of 1.6 billion euros, it is one of the largest cooperative banks in Lower Saxony. The bank's business area is located in the Elbe-Weser triangle and includes the district of Osterholz and the old district of Bremervörde. Volksbank eG Osterholz Bremervörde's guiding principle is to combine economic success with socially responsible action. It is a cooperative bank that is committed to its members and customers.

Dialogbild illustrates Volksbank's vision of the future in a picture that is derived from reflective core questions and their answers. These were developed in a workshop and captured by a DIALOGBILD illustrator using graphic recording. In this way, it was also possible to pick up on momentary impulses and those between the lines. The final result is a visual framework for future action, filled with concrete goals and strategies.

FUTURE DISCUSSION – DEMOCRATIZATION OF INNOVATION

The Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg was founded in 1973 and is known as one of the younger universities in Germany. Its main goal is to find answers to central societal questions of the 21st century through interdisciplinary cutting-edge research and teaching. The university maintains close cooperation with over 200 universities worldwide and entertains relationships to non-university facilities in the areas research, education, culture and economy. Around 16.000 students are being prepared for their future corporate life. The range of courses covers a wide spectrum from the humanities and cultural sciences to economics, law and social sciences, as well as mathematics, computer science, the natural sciences and medicine.

The kick-off event of the future discourse “Democratization of Innovation” was accompanied by DIALOGPICTURE. In addition to keynote speeches and an introduction to the events content, it was discussed what new innovation actors and forms of cooperation can achieve in transforming the economy. After an exchange of experiences in small groups, the opportunities, boundaries and requirements of co-innovation processes between students and companies were discussed and simultaneously translated by our illustrator. The guests were sent off by the initiator and conductor Prof. Dr. Klaus Fichter and the project coordinator Nina Heiting with an outlook on future formats of the projects. The final graphic recording results captured the thoughts, discussions and impulses of the day in a picture.

MUNICIPAL UTILITIES ANNUAL MEETING

At the 21st EUROFORUM annual conference "Municipal Utilities 2017," 50 speakers, 300 participants, and 35 partners met to discuss strategies and solutions for the new energy world. Participants were particularly enthusiastic about our graphic recording, which was created offstage by our partner DIALOGBILD simultaneously with the presentations and discussions.

THE VISUAL PROTOCOL

KONE is one of the world's leading providers of complete solutions for elevators and escalators, automatic door and gate systems as well as modernization and manufacturer-independent maintenance of these product groups.

Together with 60 executives, the KONE Top Management 2015 dedicated themselfes in a multi-day workshop to the topics of leadership, management and matrix organization. A factbook designed in advance by Dialogbild supported the participants in structuring and reflecting on the event .

However, in order to convey the many discussions, workshop sessions and lectures in a sustainable way and make them accessible, DIALOGBILD was also on site with an illustrator and created a graphic recording of the entire event. All contents and results found their way to a total of four large-format posters, which were made available to KONE for free use and now ensure that the workshop topics in the organization remain alive.

CUSTOMER LOYALTY

For the Swiss insurance company Helvetia we developed a dialog picture about "customer loyalty" during an executives conference in Zermatt. The Matterhorn provided not only a fascinating panorama but as Switzerland′s fifths highest mountain also symbolized Helvetia′s goal to become Switzerland’s fifths biggest insurance company. During the two-day event we hosted a live–illustration and illustrated together with 120 executives the path leading to the Matterhorn.The topic "customer loyalty" played a leading role as well and was based on a survey among customers and field workers.

To improve customer loyalty, Helvetia carried out a survey among customers and field workers. We presented the results during the event in form of posters with several customer statements. At the same time the posters also provided a vivid introduction into a discussion on the subject „customer loyalty“.

A customer′s quote: "With the consultant it′s the same as with a butcher, if you don′t trust the butcher you won′t buy anything.“

MISSION STATEMENT: EXCELLENT SERVICE

130 top managers from Badenova participated in the live creation of a dialogue picture. Through exchanges with internal and external customers, Badenova, the energy service provider, developed a series of quality standards, called the 12 + 1 Standards. These standards were formulated through a process called The Employee Mission Statement and Customer Relations and officially presented by the senior management.

It consists of 12 rules concerning communication, punctuality, appreciation and engaged competent handling of customer requests. During the rollout all +1 standards were visualized. For each +1 standard DIALOGBILD created small cartoon sketches following dialogues with participants. These sketches were later developed into a complete dialogue picture. The event was moderated by Torsten Voller (Steife Brise).

HR-THEMES SIMPLY EXPLAINED

The HR SWISS CONGRESS in Bern is considered the industry meeting place for HR professionals from across Switzerland, offering participants a top-tier platform for knowledge transfer and networking. Cutting-edge issues and challenges, as well as creative business models and perspectives, are presented with a user-centric approach.

DIALOGBILD accompanied the event with a comprehensive graphic recording. This included not only visually representing general topics from the conference, but also capturing the inspiring presentations and case studies, such as those by Bertrand Piccard, who circumnavigated the globe using solar-powered aircraft, and IBM trend researcher Moshe Rappoport, who spoke about "Digital Economy – Innovative Paths in HR."

Even during the presentations, participants could witness the creation of the visual record and, at the end of the first day of the congress, refresh their memory and internalize the content through the images. The presentation of the HR SWISS AWARDS later that evening was also captured in this charming way. The results were ultimately compiled into a comprehensive overview that can now be used by organizers and visitors as a basis for reflection, for further communication of the content, and simply as a nice reminder of two exciting days.
