Change Accelerator

What are the success factors that fuel your ability to shift your work, solidify your team or host a successful offsite or team meeting? It starts with a motivational speaker or facilitator who helps you identify clear targets and a solid change plan within a unique format to access and leverage your team’s creativity to meet your goals. Patti Dobrowolski mashes up interactive, playful environments with solid business outcomes so your team works together in new, relaxed, collaborative ways to get you those fantastic new product ideas, visions of the future, or solid strategies that hold your team’s focus until the goals have been met.

Dobrowolski’s vision and strategy sessions might include an indoor road rally. Unification of communication plans might be delivered through a company performance with highly engaged employee actors. She has even filled an entire ball room with a “yellow brick road” to help a technology team establish integration timelines and deliverables. A change accelerator that is resilient, flexible, tailored, inspirational, Patti can help you plan and deliver an event that exceeds expected outcomes.

Strategic Illustrator

This powerful tool that enables groups of people to work together in highly effective, collaborative and satisfying ways. It’s a visual system that captures information, ideas and documents and interactively supports group process. The best part is, it integrates both sides of your brain, so your team’s ideas and excitement builds when someone captures it in real time pictures.

To the casual observer, the essence of strategic illustration or graphic capture is the ability to listen, take quick accurate notes and draw. Beneath the surface exists a deeper understanding of business processes, listening for meaning, consulting, filtering/synthesis and graphic architecture skills. One of just over 300 Strategic Illustrators in the world, Patti uses strategic visuals and processes to accelerate change.
