How Can the Big Picture Help You?

In today's highly competitive world, the challenges facing companies increase on a near daily basis. “What can we do to stay ahead?” is one of the most often asked questions in the workplace. Failure to continuously come up with new and innovative answers to this question can easily cause a company's downfall.

One of the main areas where companies experience immense frustration, and where they are often weakest, is in the area of communication. How does top management convey company policy, values and other significant information to employees or their clients? And when they have done so, how can they ensure that such information is retained, and not forgotten in a few days?

There is now a solution that has been specifically designed to address these areas of concern. This revolutionary concept, simply known as Bigpicture, has proven its worth in several organisations over the past few years, and is now available for your benefit.

What is Bigpicture?

In order to answer this, let us consider the following question: Why do we forget a name quicker than a face? Why will we remember what a house looks like, but forget the name of the street it is in? The answer is actually quite simple: Our visual memory is stronger than our textual memory. Words heard or read are forgotten much quicker than pictures seen.

This, of course, is also true in the workplace, and with the aid of Bigpicture you can now overcome this hurdle. Bigpicture enables you to convey all kinds of information in an easy, digestible format, using pictures, cartoons and comedy maps as a vehicle.

One of the areas where Bigpicture has proven to be most helpful is in the training environment. Bigpicture makes it possible for masses of information to be broken up into digestible units and linked together by way of a visual course map. This map serves as a basis from where the various modules may be accessed, each with its own visual mind map which is then used as a basis for the actual course material (See the graphic above).

In such a way the power of association is utilised to bind loose-standing concepts together, and the power of visualization is utilised to make the abstract concrete. When information is presented like this, the brain literally goes into “movie-mode” and its retention ability is multiplied many times over.

The strength of Bigpicture does not only lie in its visual format, but also in the fact that it enables one to take a mental snapshot of the bigger picture. With Bigpicture detail is always presented as a part of the whole, and therefore explained, and understood, in the light of the whole. Oftentimes employees see themselves, and their job descriptions, as isolated from the rest of their environment. What Bigpicture does is to integrate the loose parts and present them as a cohesive unit, reminding everyone all the time that there is a bigger picture, and that they themselves make up the indispensable units of this bigger picture.
