Show Notes

What can business leadership learn from a professional artist?  Turns out - a lot!

At a time when we’re being encouraged to ‘think outside of the box’ fine art is probably as far outside of the traditional business setting as you can get.

Yet it seems that occasionally  swapping Excel sheets for art supplies can give executives a totally new perspective on where their business is now, where they could be heading - and how to get there. 

I’m Jane Singer and Welcome to A Seat at The Table! 

Each week I sit down with leading executives, entrepreneurs, authors and innovators who share their experience, expertise and insights about the future of business.

This week I had the opportunity to speak with Nora Herting, a pioneer of visual strategy.  She’s CEO and Founder of ImageThink, a visual leadership company that has worked with clients ranging from pharmaceuticals like Pfizer and  Johnson & Johnson to tech giants including IBM and Google, as well as NASA and Toyota.

In this episode Nora talks about the power of visual thinking as a catalyst for personal and organisational change.  She explains her unique visual approach that blends strategic thinking with creative expression.
