Visual facilitation means thinking, communicating and collaborating with drawings and graphic representations.
Visual facilitation is a way of organising and communicating information using visual elements and tools. Just as we verbalise thinking through words, so we can express it through symbols and graphic representations. This way of working enables a new level of collaboration and brings a new way of thinking and working in an engaging way that facilitates understanding and retention.
Bikablo is a pioneer in the field of visualisation with over 20 years of experience and a global team of trainers.
Bikablo has developed an easy to learn and internationally recognised visual facilitation method that originated in Germany. It emphasis on the use of symbols, icons and simple drawings to visually represent ideas, concepts and conversations in a clear and engaging way.

I’ve been teaching bikablo to more 230 people from 35 organisations.
I’ve become a bikablo certified global trainer at the beginning of 2019, and since then many facilitators, coaches, consultants, trainers, specialists and even teachers have attended my classes.
Today they are all part of the bikablo alumni community, where regular meetings are constantly organised to facilitate practice and exchange of experience.
