Our Visual Minute P hilosophy The process of capturing and presenting a story in visual form in either a live environment or from pre created documentation is called many things such as graphic facilitation or info graphics. But at CC we call this Visual Minutes. Our philosophy is simple we believe in the power of the story and the impact on the story when it can be seen more clearly using images. We see our team as a support for extracting the important words / comments and information within a room and visualising this in a way that people can clearly see / relate to and understand.

We work on the principle that most people naturally think visually, decipher information in a visual form and retain information from images more effectively. But our key strength is that all our work is undertaken with passion – we love what we do and we love telling stories, we love the reaction from those who see clearer as a result of one of our images. We love the end results and we love helping and supporting people to think more clearly. Its what we do and love to do.

Why CC Visual Minutes Our Visual Minute teams offer more than just graphic facilitation. All our team are trained in the Art of Listening, Transformative Narrative, Visualisation and most importantly they are all trained facilitators. We have a team of over 40 Artist Facilitators across the UK and a further 30 Artist Facilitators internationally with different skills / styles and knowledge levels to match your needs. Each member of the team is also trained in client relations / presenting and communication so they are able to summarise key content and provide facilitator support at a high level. We work on a culture of professionalism, fun and creativity and giving 100% in what we do and deliver. Because we love what we do this will affect those within the room in an amazing positive way. One of our clients summed this up beautifully:

‘The dynamic of a group changes when there is an artist working in the room. When a group’s words and thoughts serve as the source of a communal image, something shifts. A loop forms: people visit the image during breaks. They take ownership of what emerges.

The images inspire conversations and the conversations show up as images. The resonance amplifies the possibilities. Over the four days of our summit the mural began to stretch around the room. Soon, we were surrounded by our conversation; the four walls of the conference center were changed by the work; we no longer sat in a generic space... but occupied a room specific to us, designed for and by us, a chronicle of our unique wisdom. The art transformed us. We were 35 people from 11 countries made one through our intention and the circle that the art invoked.’

Agfa HealthCare

2013 Kick-off Radisson Blu Hotel, East Midlands Airport, 31 January 2013

PowerPaint 2013 – a year of transition Change and improve - After the success of the changes we made half way through 2012 we need to continue to implement in 2013. These changes included improving our approach to bids and selling by investing in the necessary resources and tools to support. We also changed our pricing strategy and worked smarter, not harder, by not chasing everything. We now have a twelve month campaign against all the upcoming tenders with a comprehensive contact plan to support. After the success of key strategic partnerships in 2012 we will continue to leverage opportunities alongside companies such as Orion and HSS as well as remaining in continued dialogue with our development organisation on any technology gaps identified. Creating our own market – In recent years Agfa HealthCare has at times taken a ‘me too’ approach to the imaging market and in particular our VNA proposition. This does not maximise our strength and experience so we are now re-positioning what we sell and how we sell it, moving away from the VNA story to the VNA ‘so what’ story – what about the bigger picture, what about ICIS? This activity requires the correct positioning, lobby, visibility and networking and to support this, the organisation has identified new roles and will be investing to support.

2012 – a game of two halves Some important lessons and actions were taken in 2012 to place the UKI business in a stronger position for the years following the end of Connecting for Health contracts. The activity we have seen in the market in 2012 was just the start, and the ‘PACS giveaway’ will come to an end very quickly. Winning is one thing – delivering is another and we must continue to use all our delivery knowledge and experience to differentiate against the competition. The business we won in 2012 was at an excellent margin and we hit our Order Intake in PACS/RIS after an excellent Q4. We also continued to do an excellent job throughout the year on retaining our LSP accounts compared to the ‘bloodbath’ that has happened in other LSP regions. We must not be complacent however, as there is a long way to go and unless we remain focussed this could happen in our region very easily. Imaging progressed at an impressive pace throughout 2012 delivering against budget and achieving new Direct Radiography business at several sites as part of the go-tomarket campaign for our DR. The technology refresh across our LSP sites continues superbly with over 25 sites already updated in less than

18 months. This is a significant achievement and credit goes to the all involved. We should also remember to use this key statistic during our sales and promotional activity. Our Enterprise IT go-to-market campaign also continues, with excellent feedback in the market from the demonstration and tender activity. We are now well on track for our first ORBIS pilot order and this is expected in the first half of 2013. 2012 came to a close with a fantastic win at University Hospitals Birmingham. This is a new customer and credit goes to the significant team effort across Agfa to win the tender against tough competition. Most importantly the Trust said that it was the quality of our products and positive feedback from the clinicians that was part of the deciding factor, not the lowest price. In summary, 2012 was a ‘game of two halves’ with a slow start follow by big improvements in the second half of the year. Revenue at our close was at the very top end based on ‘where we were’ at the end of H1 and there was very strong bottom line growth under very difficult market conditions. Well done to all our staff and please continue to keep up the good work.

Telling the story – Doing the hard work is one thing but we must continue to tell everyone about the good news and significant achievements. We have some key differentiators that we sometimes forget about or assume that people already know. Tell it and tell it again. The end of 2012 and the beginning of 2013 have seen a number of examples of Agfa HealthCare winning new deals. Please remember that winning is one thing – delivering is another. The euphoria of a win is short lived but the reputation of the business after a successful deployment last for years. Service and support also then play a crucial role in this relationship and therefore future opportunities. We have demonstrated that when we work together as a united team, we achieve our greatest success and we must continue to do this. Maximising the significant opportunities in our market is now harder than it has ever been, we must accept this and work together to address the challenges. Market expectation will not change to make life convenient for us. Let us also not forget how interesting and rewarding it can be to be in such a dynamic and growing market – so remember to enjoy it! In 2013 let’s build on the successful end to 2012 becoming wiser from what we have learned, whilst adapting and leading in the creation of new markets.

Client Testimonials ‘CreativeConnection bring the perfect balance of facilitation and illustration. Tim and Vicky bring the room to life with their energy and the team's ideas to life with their creativity. The assets produced accurately portray and dramatise the thinking as it happens in real time which is then complemented with a robust write up and accompanying notes. A real pleasure to work with and a real delight to surprise your clients with!’

Jez Groom, Ogilvy Change ‘The artists have been hugely helpful in delivering the session about our vision of the department. They have helped participants working in groups in coming up with creative products and then managed to grab the essence of this work and put it into a fantastic drawing.’

‘The idea of using a hand drawn illustration really worked, inspiring NHS clients who are used to sitting through endless dull PowerPoints, bringing to life an important meeting at the highest levels of government where leaving an impression was crucial, and summarising in one complex drawing a whole host of different concepts and ideas. Our target (government official) liked it so much he asked us to prop it up during the meeting so he could think about it, and then asked to keep the A1 board when we had finished.’

Luke Blair, London Communications Agency ‘We are very grateful for the work done by CreativeConnection Visual Minutes. We received so much positive feedback and it really added to the day.

Alessandro Storer, Department Coordinator, Mind

‘We were blown away by the way in which the team captured challenging themes and brought them to life.’

‘The CC team were great with the young people and with the ‘influential’ guests (MP, Mayor, Council Leader and other Councillors + business people). They are extremely helpful, and willing to ‘muck in’ and lend a hand wherever it is needed.

Claudia McCullough, Senior Staff Training & Development Officer, Thurrock Council

‘Marcel and Gordon were just the perfect artists. They were highly professional and accomplished at capturing the essence of what is taking place and being said, and creating a skilled artistic impression.’

Romy Shovelton, Youth Forum Hereford ‘We have just received the printed copies and they look amazing. I am really pleased with the outcome. Thank you all for your hard work under the tight timelines.’

Rick Vernon, Store Communication Business Partner Argos
