At every great event, powerful ideas are shared. But how many of them actually stick? Scribing turns information overload into clarity—capturing conversations in real time through live illustration and visual storytelling.
It’s more than just drawing. It’s about making complex ideas instantly understandable, encouraging participation, and sparking creativity in the room. When everyone can see what's being said, ideas become shared property. Egos drop. Collaboration rises. And that’s where the real magic happens.
Teams align faster, innovation flows more freely, and conversations turn into outcomes. Scribing isn't just a creative add-on—it's a strategic tool for organisations ready to turn events into real business transformation.
In this video, Andrew Park has looked at what scribing is, how it works and the benefits it brings. To do this, Andrew has caught up with experienced scribe James Baylay and shared the experiences of Shane Costigan (Dean of Pharmacy, NHS) and Alison Honour (now Vice-Chancellor at Bournemouth University). Look out for great scribing examples from the CPC, British Academy, Royal Academy of Engineering and Canterbury Christ Church University.
So… if your last meeting was just another slide deck parade, maybe it’s time to try something more visual.
