What is Shared Meaning?

Misunderstanding is subtle.
It creeps in between meetings, shows up between departments, seeps into documents, misaligns your people, fragments your delivery and wastes through budgets.
Translating ideas into reality requires absolute clarity on what we’re trying to do together. If you’re serious about doing things differently, you cannot afford misunderstanding.

Shared meaning – the group understanding that underpins collaboration – is deeply human. We need to see how things are and care about how they could be before we commit to change. At Visual Meaning we have partnered with our clients to create shared meaning – saving costs, aligning stakeholders, engaging employees, delivering outcomes and helping them create the future they envision.

Shared Meaning for vision and strategy

Let’s create meaningful pictures of where you are trying to go, connected to your people’s experience of how things are. No more jargon-y slides – we’ll work with you to create a shared vision and compelling story for how things could be.

Shared meaning for data and digital

Shared meaning for systemic transformation

Let’s make your organisational ecosystem visible to the diverse actors who shape it. Seeing the systemic patterns that hold orgnizations back is hard – it’s much easier if you have a map to plot them against. We’ll work with you to create the common frame of reference you need to collaboratively address wicked problems.
