The challenge of our times:

• learn to harness visual thinking for your business to communicate, ideate, innovate and learn (problem solving)
• use basic drawing techniques to represent ideas effectively

4 hours in total, in two sessions spread over two weeks

"Thoroughly  enjoyed and inspired by Tanmay's visual thinking workshop. Taken  through the process in a staged way over two hours showing that you  don't need to know how to draw in order to have a go at sketchnoting."
