43% more effective: How to build acceptance for change through visualisation
Change processes – whether digital transformation, cultural change or new market strategies – rarely fail because of the hard facts. They often fail due to a lack of acceptance and a lack of imagination. If you want to inspire people, you have to convince them.

Change processes – whether digital transformation, cultural change or new market strategies – rarely fail because of the hard facts. They often fail due to a lack of acceptance and a lack of imagination. If you want to inspire people, you have to convince them. A groundbreaking study by the University of Minnesota shows that presentations and concepts supported by visuals are 43% more persuasive than purely verbal messages.

Why facts alone don’t inspire action

People are naturally sceptical of the unknown. Figures, data and facts appeal to our rational minds, but genuine motivation and agreement arise on an emotional level. A dialog picture bridges the gap: it makes the abstract tangible and the future come alive. It answers the crucial question on everyone’s mind: “What does this change mean specifically for me and my environment?”

Turning those affected into participants

A professionally designed dialog picture makes complex transformations transparent. It shows not only the target state, but also the path to get there.

  • Transparency builds trust: when employees see how processes interlock, their fear of change diminishes.
     
  • Shared sense of identity: by incorporating familiar symbols and scenes from their own daily working lives, viewers feel valued and understood.
     
  • Compelling external impact: In sales or when attracting new partners, the 43% increase in persuasiveness delivers a measurable competitive advantage.

Become a communications professional

Harness the scientifically proven power of images to lead your projects to success. A dialog picture is the most powerful tool in your arsenal for breaking down resistance and generating a genuine sense of optimism.

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.
