Do you want to connect?

Visuele Verbinders (a.k.a. Visual Connectors) is an agency that facilitates strategy development for complex challenges. We align people within organisations and translate information through business drawing into accessible and understandable visual roadmaps, animations, infographics and live illustrations.

We combine Design Thinking with expertise in organisational and change management. With a mix of facilitators, change managers and technically trained designers, we bring structure and clarity to complex information and challenges. We strongly believe in involving people within the organisation to build support, always keeping the target audience in focus.

We work for educational institutions, healthcare organisations, infrastructure, construction and technology, government bodies and corporate organisations, primarily in the Randstad region.

Visual impact

To connect visually is a mega effective and collaborative way to develop and collaborate. We love to get involved in development trajectories, where complexity is high and finding common interest is imperative to achieve your goals.

That is what we call a connection assignment. We help you to get the idea(s) out of one’s mind onto paper, so you can bring it to reality. So that you can communicate complex ideas in a simple, coherent and powerful way. By for instance an illustration, animation, infographic or workshop.

“This strategy overview illustration works really well for both customers, colleagues and suppliers to quickly explain what our innovation organization looks like."

"But this drawing is also the perfect means to stay on the same page and provide clarity in roles and tasks” - Willem Mayer, Manager Production @ Ampelmann

Develop together

A demand for connection starts with the development of an idea. As designers we like to be involved in the early stage to create a shared mental model and connect visually. But we are also called to the task in a later stage of detailing, communication or implementation.

In every phase visual, sometimes virtual, by drawing live but also by letting participants draw themselves. That’s what we call Visual Thinking.

Go out and test

To connect starts with creating a shared mental model! And logically we test our products with the target audience. Do they understand the story? Does it have the right flow, feel, look and sound? Where possible, we optimize our illustration. This way, we develop powerful drawings, with a strong build-up and the right story.

So that your target group can move in the right direction.

“This illustration is the perfect means to get the organization focused on the same goal and create clarity in roles and tasks."

By involving people from all levels of the organisation during development and making their input visual immediately. This way employees see their contribution is included, and the visuals make clear where everyone agrees and where tension exists. This leads to concrete and tangible shared content.

Yes. We help align the information, choose the right narrative and translate existing content into visuals. We ensure the message connects with the target audience, so the intended change can actually be realised.

Yes, our illustrators can do live business drawing and capture input visually. This can be passive — listening and drawing — but the illustrator can also actively engage or facilitate the group. At agreed moments the illustrator reflects the visuals back to the group.

Yes. We start with a session to surface and structure everything that exists. This helps us determine which perspectives are relevant and which visual format fits best: an interactive visual roadmap, an animation or an infographic, based on audience and use.

Yes. Animations are especially suitable as part of a broader communication strategy, to convey a short message powerfully, often with a call-to-action at the end. Sometimes an interactive visual roadmap serves the purpose better, as it can contain more information. We are happy to advise on which format fits best.
