Strategic Visioning
The most common reason an organization’s vision fails? Employees don’t know what it is, or they’ve lost touch with what it means for them.
Drawbridge Innovations works with leaders and teams to collectively envision and articulate your ideal future. Through our highly visual and collaborative virtual and in-person workshops, teams develop ownership for their new vision and get focused on how to get there.
Our Work
Facilitating Strategic Visioning workshops, using our engaging visualization techniques.
Processes that can scale: we’ve worked with 5 to 150 people in the room.
Organization-wide rollouts using animation, illustrated vision maps, large-scale conversation circles, and other such tools.
Facilitation
Do you have an important meeting, leadership retreat or planning workshop coming up? Are you tired of endless presentations, and conversations that spin? There’s a better way to gather!
We design custom workshops that are highly collaborative and always honor the wisdom in the room. Whether virtually or in-person, our creative process can ignite your meeting, and help you achieve results faster.
Our Work:
Graphic facilitation focused on team cohesion, Vision and Values articulation, Stakeholder Empathy Mapping, Design Thinking to re-imagine services and experiences.

Organizational Alignment
When organizations change direction, structures or processes, confusion and disengagement can impede people from moving forward.
During these times of uncertainty, Drawbridge Innovations works with leaders to articulate the change story, clarify the strategy and connect staff to the new direction. We design and launch organizational alignment programs for clients that cascade the future state, engage employees and ensure the longevity of ideas through ongoing engagement.
Our Work:
Discovery to distill the change story, through interviews and visual facilitation.
Visualization of the current state, future state, and path of change.
Designing communication tools and storytelling processes to launch internal rollouts.
Design Thinking & Innovation
Too often organizational processes and services are designed in a vacuum - without considering the needs and desires of the end user. These siloed design attempts waste time and money, inhibit adoption and create distrust in the process.
Drawbridge puts your employees, customers or end users at the center of the innovation approach. We leverage human-centered design to transform internal processes, design new customer offerings and more.
Our Work
Empathy mapping workshops to create a deeper understanding of an end-user.
End-to-end visual process mapping of the current and future state.
User needs assessment and qualitative research.
Collaborative workshop facilitation with cross-functional stakeholders to design a people-centered process or service.
Graphic Recording
Transform your virtual or in-person meetings with a real-time visual record of your conversations.
Our team of graphic recorders bring deep listening into your workshop, drawing the presentations and discussions in real time. As participants see ideas come to life in-person or on their screens, their engagement and comprehension of complex information increases. Ideas last beyond the meeting through high-resolution shareable images we deliver afterward.
Our Work:
Graphic recording at conferences, vision and strategy sessions, brainstorming and innovation workshops, team retreats, World Cafe conversations and more.
Executed in person on large-format charts - or virtually with digital technology.
Interactive experience walls and installations that “wow” and engage participants.
Visual Storytelling
Whether you want to explain a new process, train new employees, communicate about important initiatives, or make your presentation deck more engaging - an idea is only as good as the life you bring to it.
Drawbridge’s visual storytelling artifacts clarify complex information and create stories that engage people. Our customized, beautiful and easy-to-understand materials focus employee attention, inspire team alignment, and move them to action.
Our Work:
Visual maps and infographics, rich with information and illustrations.
Animated explainer videos, crafted with hand-drawn illustrations, narration and music.
Email communication campaigns and microsites.
Creative tools for employee recognition and culture building.

As companies build a culture of innovation, leaders challenge employees to think bigger and think differently.
