CLIENT: HMSA / Hawaii Blue Cross Blue Shield

NEED: Graphically facilitated session around their approach to enterprise business innovation.

OUTCOME: Graphic recording of motivation for change and tactical plan. Thumbnail sketches of infographic descriping long-term approach to culture change and business innovation within the health insurance industry.

Originally when I planned to write this post, I was going to discuss my graphic recording presentation at the VizThink Conference in San Jose, CA. But as I was going through my photographs I realized it was much more exciting to discuss Jessica Hagy, who I had the pleasure to meet, befriend, and eventually coax to stay at my house during SXSW 2009. If you’re unfamiliar with Hagy’s work, please leave my site and go straight to www.thisisindexed.com. You’ll find a treasure trove of humorous gems from the mind of a 3rd-generation copywriter and visual thinker. She’s quick, she’s quirky and together we made up a new word: “Scrotch.” (Don’t knock it – it has too many applications.) I did, in fact, give a presentation that went over well with the VizThink participants, but I can talk about me another time. Hagy is one of those people you meet and you say, “Thank you, World, for the opportunity to meet lights in the people tunnel.”
