Big dreams often feel exciting—but they can also feel overwhelming. Whether you’re mapping out your personal ambitions, shaping your organisation’s next big move, or leading a team through a period of change, it’s not always easy to make the future feel tangible. That’s where a VisionSketch™ comes in.
At Sketch Group, we developed VisionSketch™ as a powerful way to turn abstract goals into a clear, visual roadmap. It’s more than just a drawing—it’s a process that helps you and your team articulate what success looks like and capture it in a format that’s engaging, memorable, and actionable.
What is VisionSketch™?
A VisionSketch™ is a large-format illustration created in real time, often during a workshop or strategy session. Working with one of our skilled visual facilitators, you’ll explore your big-picture ideas, priorities, and values. As you talk, we translate those insights into a vibrant visual map that captures the essence of your future goals.
Instead of a dense strategy document that gets filed away, you walk away with a visual anchor—a one-page sketch that makes your vision easy to understand, share, and rally around.
Why does it work?
We all think differently, but research shows that visuals help us process information faster and remember it longer. By combining words and imagery, a VisionSketch™ taps into both sides of the brain, making your future plans not just something you say, but something you can see.
Some of the key benefits include:
- Clarity – distilling complex ideas into a simple, easy-to-grasp picture.
- Alignment – ensuring everyone on your team shares the same vision and language.
- Motivation – inspiring people by showing them where they’re heading and why it matters.
- Focus – serving as a reference point to guide decisions and keep momentum strong.
VisionSketch™ and EOS Implementation
Many businesses today are using the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) to gain structure and traction. EOS tools like the Vision/Traction Organizer (V/TO) are excellent for defining where your business is heading and how you’ll get there.
A VisionSketch™ complements EOS beautifully. While EOS provides the framework and language for your strategy, a VisionSketch™ translates those elements into a visual story. Your 10-year target, 3-year picture, and core values come to life on a single page—making them easier to share, remember, and embed into your culture.
For teams implementing EOS, this means:
- Your vision becomes something people can literally see every day.
- Meetings and quarterly check-ins have a visual touchstone to keep conversations aligned.
- Team members can quickly connect with the bigger picture, not just the day-to-day scorecard.
In short, VisionSketch™ helps organisations implementing EOS go from words on a page to a vision that inspires action.
How can you use a VisionSketch™?
Clients use their VisionSketch™ in all sorts of ways, including:
- Displaying it in the office as a daily reminder of the bigger picture.
- Sharing it in presentations to engage stakeholders or funders.
- Using it as a tool in workshops to keep discussions aligned with strategic goals.
- Revisiting it during planning cycles to measure progress and refine direction.
It’s not just art for the wall—it’s a living strategy tool that grows with you.
