ThinkLink Graphics has been instrumental to the success of the T1D Think Tank Network (T1DTTN). We are a start up not-for-profit with the task of making ourselves known in a busy Patient -oriented Healthcare environment on behalf of people living with Type 1 Diabetes. The work of Erica Bota, in particular has become almost part of our brand – and a much anticipated key element of all our programming. The listening skills, integration with our members and talent to translate all our Insight Session discussions into meaningful take-aways are an integral part of the event “day of”. Further, the out put from these important conversations have been transformed into usable tools for follow up both as meeting summaries and outcomes related tools such as our “Conversation Guide”. Talented, low maintenance, fast, efficient, professional and real nice people….
Erica Bota has helped Aboriginal youth in Ontario to tell the story of their health research. She is an inspiring woman who has an instant connection with youth. I watched her create a graphic story with dozens of coloured markers, but the most impressive part was what happened when she let the children of Wiikwemkoong Unceded Territory use the markers with her. Most artists would have been distraught, irate, terrified by this scene; but Erica empowered the youth to make it their own and the result was very special.
Working with Disa and the team at Thinklink graphics felt less like a typical vendor/client relationship and more like a partnership. We all know that when you hire a provider or supplier , that intrinsically there is a desire to please the client (after all we are the customer! ) – But it never felt like that. The Thinklink graphics team was nimble , responsive and generous with great ideas and workarounds and displayed a quick to pick up approach on a topic that was not their subject matter expertise and a request that was far from an ideal minimum threshold to produce in time. With multiple iterations, many sources of input from our stakeholders and the added complexity of creating this bilingually – Thinklink graphics made it all come together with a final product that was cascaded to over 3000 employees – on time, on budget and on point. The reaction was immediately positive and memorable (exactly the results we wanted!). The topic itself was a challenge to make enticing – however the creative end result was polished and well received. It was all in all a great first time experience working with Thinklink graphics.
I have worked with ThinkLink Graphics since inception and Liisa Sorsa for many years prior to that. Their work is second to none. The ability to graphically record conversations and dialog real time while at the same time interpreting complex viewpoints is something that sets them apart. My work has leveraged their services as a compliment to traditional facilitation and I can tell you partnering with them takes the client experience to a whole new level as you are now able to draw in people who learn and digest information visually, ensuring a fully engaged audience. I have also leverage Liisa’s services remotely, having her visually scribe a virtual brainstorming session – the results were outstanding! I highly recommend their services as their work if transformative and something that automation is still miles behind on replicating.
You ladies are rock stars! I wish I could promote you to EVERYONE I know.
