Visualization is more than colourful images – an interview with Holger Scholz and Guido Neuland

Dean Meyers‘s insight:

Visual thinking put into action can be seen through graphic recording and visual facilitation, the two major areas that will be the focus of the EuViz2014 conference in Berlin, Germany this July.

Holger Scholz and Guido Neuland organized the conference after attending conferences hosted by the IFVP (International Forum of Visual Practitioners), to “make visualization more widely known in Germany and Europe and to lay the foundation for a broader discussion of the topic.”

Holger is a Certified Professional Facilitator and the CEO of Kommunikationslotsen Scholz & Vesper GmbH & Co. KG.  Kommunikationslotsen can be loosely translated into English as  “Communication Pilots”.

Guido is the marketing and sales director of Neuland GmbH & Co. KG. Neuland produces a unique line of dry erase and water based markers for paper, and other graphic tools primarily to be used by facilitators, presenters, educators and anyone wishing to create visuals predominantly seen in large scale, full room use, such as meeting rooms and classrooms. 

Please read the article for a deeper look into the definitions of the practices and concepts that are making visualization in education change, and businesses go beyond using PowerPoint to have a “visual presentation”.

To quote Holger on the disruptive power of applied visualization:, “I understand visualizations to be a variety of new forms of leadership and cooperation.”
