Skilful visualization - from the sketch to the message

Explaining the world with a pen

This training is held in German.
In an increasingly visual world, the artful visualization of data and ideas is becoming immensely important. Visualization techniques not only provide clarity, but also inspiration. Whether you want to communicate complex business strategies, share scientific findings or take creative projects to the next level, visualization is the key to success. Find out in our training how to communicate data, concepts and ideas impressively using graphics, diagrams, infographics and other tools. Our experts will provide you with tried-and-tested tools and techniques that can be seamlessly integrated into your professional and private life. The training uses a flipchart, paper and pen. The insights and tips can also be easily transferred to digital media.
