I am a #creative person at heart. At work, I’m always finding creative ways to depict the ‘usual’ that otherwise becomes mundane. My most recent attempt was with #casestudies.
Case studies, as most of you know, are important assets and a great way for people to learn from actions that have already yielded results, saving them the time they would otherwise invest in trial and error. The case was ready, and the whole problem and solution were explained in the form of a story. That got me thinking – when it’s narrated as a story, putting together a plain design would not do justice to the narrative. I tried a comic strip approach instead. Every key part of the case study was depicted using visuals. It was a trial but the output was much better than what I had anticipated it to be.
With great excitement, I hit SEND and shared it with Sripriyaa Venkataraman and Venkataraman Subramanyan. The next thing I know our client, a software development giant, loved the approach and decided to start using visual case studies as learning material in their workshops. Yet again, creativity saved the day because I dared to think #outofthebox.
Reflect on an act of creativity that propelled you. And now reflect upon how you can recreate those creative moments to handle your current uncertainties.
