Client Comments

Z Plus Partners: "In my opinion, visual thinking is the most under-leveraged and potentially powerful tool available for creating and enhancing innovation. Alphachimp Studio is among the very best in the industry, and their ability to capture, enhance and represent big ideas in second-to-none. Do yourself a favor and hire this company, or worry that your competitors will."

Creating Customer Evangelists

Having Alphachimp create a visual document of your meeting or conference is like being handed a photograph that explains the meaning of love. Peter Durand's visual guides explain in moments what took days or weeks to understand. Alphachimp's value is remarkable.

Center for Business Innovation: "One of the nicest things about their work is that they bring a number of added capabilities to the session. For starters, they are superior facilitators. Second, they digitally capture the session, and provide a CDROM with the output, both drawings and detailed text narrative. If you want the next level of service, they will also produce a web-site based on the event. Third, they come with an additional arsenal of creative exercises and process ideas that are certain to enrich the experience."

Conifer Research

Peter and his team mates are brilliant, fun, inspiring additions to many of our projects! His visual skills integrate critical thinking, extraordinary listening and a keen sense of OUR goals and process. The value of his presence in a room, the immediacy of his deliverables and the high quality of his all of his work are marvelous.

Bayer: "I've received several very positive comments on the concept of having a graphic facilitator as part of the process. My assessment of the session is that it was an unqualified success. Participants from both our company and from our client's organization have been very complimentary of both the process and the work output."

while Alphachimp 'scribes'.

The Society for Organizational Learning: "Peter and Diane were great. They are really skilled and did a great job. Their graphics and text capture was wonderful. People were in particular fond of Peter's job in capturing the event visually. At the end of each day we did a few minutes of reflection for the participants using a powerpoint slide show with Peter's drawings and Diane's pictures of the day. So, participants had a great review at the end of each day.

"Also, both of them were very easy to work with. Always friendly, patient, calm and focused on the job. It was fun to think and create with them together. They were an invaluable addition to our team.

"Then, last Friday (only two days after the event!), they already forwarded to us the finalized webjournal with all the pictures, drawings, and text captures. The Leadership Team from our client was very impressed.

mediate.com: "Graphic Facilitation supports the resolution of conflicts by going beyond a solely verbal approach. Graphic facilitation helps manage the complexity of group discussions. It reflects back the expression of multiple perspectives, makes connections between thoughts, provides a way to store information, describes a complex flow of activity, energizes a group, helps a group maintain sufficient focus to work together, and provides an explicit structure for thinking."

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

"Alphachimp Studio is a bit hard to explain. This husband-wife team splits up to fly hither and yon about the country, leading seminars for everyone from New Economy start-ups to the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
"'We doodle for dollars," Peter said, and Diane reminded him they're not supposed to say that. But they do. They have a unique capacity for taking what is said at brainstorming sessions and putting it into clever cartoon form, so that conversations and ideas can be visualized concisely and quickly. That's worth money."

Washington University in St. Louis

"The Sam Fox Arts Center at Washington University is the School of Architecture, School of Art, Department of Art History and Archeology in the College of Arts and Sciences, the University's Gallery of Art, and the Art and Architecture Library.
Individually each is a strong and distinctive organization. However, the Fox Arts Center's goal is to encourage collaboration, cooperation, and interdisciplinary research. Alphachimp Studio quickly led us to a realistic assessment of how to achieve our goal. The challenges and opportunities we identified in the workshops continue to provide invaluable guidance."

"I think small to mid-size companies can benefit from Alphachimp Studio's services in helping them reach consensus more quickly on key business inititiaves."
