What are some effective ways to visually communicate your outreach strategy to stakeholders?

Most recently, I found it helpful to communicate our Medicaid re-enrollment outreach strategy using a visual that reminded my audience of our goals & objectives while clearly articulating the tactics in place to connect with patients. It made the information easier to digest and allowed the audience to quickly determine how their work would be impacted.

A picture speaks a thousand words is an age old cliche. In the same vein pictorial and visual representation of information embeds it in the memory of stakeholders. Graphs and visual tools are easy to understand and decode so they are one of the best ways to communicate program goals and objectives.

In my experience, the greatest win in communication is connecting with the audience. Visually is very complementary to what has been spoken. It is always a critical part of the process to articulate visual and conversational aspects. Working with smallholder farmers and seed producers has taught me to listen to the voices and respond with how you see them thread with the theory of change or strategy for that matter.

Ich nutze, sowohl in Einzelgespr?chen im Job-Coaching als auch bei Vortr?gen bei Stakeholdern, die Kraft der Bilder. Visuelle Kommunikation spricht beide Hirnh?lften an. Werden komplexe und/oder psychosoziale Informationen mit Bildern verknüpft, dann kann das Gehirn es besser nachvollziehen/zuordnen und somit sich merken. Das f?ngt schon bei der bildhaften Sprache an, z.B. ?der Wolf im Schafspelz“ für Scheinheiligkeit, ?mit der Tür ins Haus fallen“ für plumpes Konfrontieren und ?das lastet schwer auf meinen Schultern“ für starke Sorgen.

For those of you working the environmental space, conducting outreach to communities of color, visual aids in your collateral are important to getting the message across. Be clear, concise, colorful! Ensure you collateral is adequately translated to represent the language needs from your community members.

Some useful tools are: 1. Infographics 2. Flowcharts 3. Mindmaps 4. Storyboards 5. Interactive Maps By employing these visual communication methods, you can effectively convey your outreach strategy to stakeholders, fostering understanding, engagement, and collaboration towards shared goals.

One thing I have continuously found effective are graphs and charts showing numbers and trajectory of the outreach efforts and the amount of incoming inquiries for more information. It states the facts.

We have been collaborating with professional cartoonists to design creative communications that present data & other evidence from research or practical application through cartoons that invoke the back story, or provoke the questions we hope people will ask themselves and engage around.

Además de las herramientas visuales mencionadas, como tablas, gráficos, mapas y videos, también puedes considerar el uso de herramientas interactivas, como simulaciones o visualizaciones dinámicas, para brindar una experiencia más inmersiva a las partes interesadas. Estas herramientas no solo transmiten información, sino que también permiten una exploración activa y personalizada del contenido, lo que aumenta la participación y la comprensión. Asimismo, el dise?o visual coherente y atractivo, junto con una narrativa clara y convincente, contribuye a una comunicación efectiva de la estrategia de divulgación y sus objetivos.

Sin duda de las mejores ideas creativas para transmitir información son las infografías, desde mí perspectiva. Sin embargo, también son útiles los diagramas, gráficos y fotografías.

When working with partners (clients;) we always begin by asking what is the learning objective. It turns out that only very rarely do people really have a handle on what they really want to communicate or achieve. Now we always create the expectation of an iterative refining of objectives & begin the approach with an emphasis on co-design as the process.

Images and infographics are great ways to communicate strategy, but what I've found is that storytelling can be even more powerful as humans are wired for stories. We can often hold onto the details of a story through the priming of feeling and emotion. As such, I often try to find the story that is being told in the strategy I want to communicate. This coupled with simple but meaningful graphics can help to communicate the most complex of strategies.

When deciding on which visual tool is best for any strategy you should ensure that your story is being told in both words and visual product. The visuals should match the story you're trying to tell. This includes using graphs, charts, maps etc. to make data more accessible. Using photos that reflect your audience is also important. It's equally important to ensure that the language reflects the audience. For example if doing an outreach campaign into a primarily Non-English Language neighborhood, get your materials translated into the primary language(s). Don't make assumptions about your audience, but meet them where they are.

Es clave conocer tener en cuenta el canal a través del cual se transmitirá la información, es decir, dependiendo de tu público es necesarios saber si es por redes sociales, en sitios públicos, por canales comunitarios, por mencionar unos ejemplos. Dependiendo el canal, se puede determinar la duración y el tipo visual más adecuado para trasmitir el mensaje. Incluso tener en cuenta que el acceso no haya barreras por costo, es decir, que no implique consumo de datos por Internet con costo. La clave será siempre.conocer en detalle el público objetivo.

Además de considerar tus objetivos y audiencia, prioriza la accesibilidad y la inclusión al elegir herramientas visuales para tu estrategia de divulgación. Asegúrate de seleccionar formatos que sean comprensibles y atractivos para todos los miembros de tu audiencia, independientemente de sus habilidades o capacidades. Esto garantizará que tu mensaje llegue de manera efectiva y equitativa a todos los involucrados.

Following are some of the effective ways to achieve this: 1. Using icons, charts and different grafts can be best options to convey your information 2. Mind Mapping for showing relationship b/w different elements 3. Interactive dashboards should be used for providing a real time information or insight to enhance stakeholders engagement and understanding.

Lay the pattern down and light the path when you have reached that region when the 5 schools are completed for 4th light it light blue--when completed for 8th grade brighter blue. When all 5 schools are completed --it becomes bright yellow--- when 5 regions are joined bright white......YAY

Proofread everything. Make sure that you run it by multiple folks that represent the people you need to connect with. If the text is too long do not put it on the graphic/visual. Add it to the caption. Create an outreach plan with the team. -2 months before -1 month before -2 weeks before -1 week before -Day before -Day of actual event/announcement. Please make sure to not share the same graphic over and over again! People get bored! Haha

Representing stakeholders via use of imagery whether that is photos, video etc as well as the ethos of your organisation together in such a way that the stakeholder can understand the message and call to action in just a few seconds. Depending on industry this may include graphics - but where possible should be photos that give authenticity and use of the colour Navy Blue in clothing to demonstrate trust and stability

J’aime sue le contenu de ma communication visuelle soit fondé sur des données probantes pour assurer un impact maximal. Mon processus est simple: - Recherche: ma cible, ses valeurs, ses émotions en rapport avec le sujet que je communique. Ce sont les principaux motivateurs humains. - J’utilise les résultats de ma recherche pour créer une histoire. La science prouve que la narration facilite la compréhension. Quand l’audience s’identifie aux personnages elle émule leurs comportements. - Mon histoire est d’abord présentée sous forme d’esquisse et de storyboard. - Une fois le client la valide, je la finalise et la diffuse au public cible. ?? Ce processus éprouvé est très efficace pour transmettre une information complexe ou peu familière.

The mere thought or mention of a visually-enhanced presentation is enough to whet the appetite of most audiences. That means a clear understanding of the visual tools needed to amplify messages is critical. In fact, misuse of materials can cause more damage than not having access to the resources in the first place. But when visual tools are properly selected, tested, and used—TRIFECTA! ????

I use photos to guide my conversations/presentations. If captured properly, the photo should remind you of all the events that took place and will assist you in leading up to the action, the what, the win!

Besides using it in presentations, you can add them to your annual report or other published resources, use in a follow up email, post to website and social.

From my experience, there are many different factors we need to consider while visually outreaching to different stakeholders, one of the main points is the inclusivity in imagery, where we ensure that the visuals reflect a diverse range of people in terms of gender, age, race, ethnicity, ability, and other identities. Moreover, we need to consider localization where we design our visuals to represent the local environment, context and realities of the communities we are trying to serve.

The premise of this question is much too "abelist" for me to participate in. In addition I find that words are a much more reliable way to communicate these days. Unfortunately thanks to CGI photos can be manipulated and faked. I trust what I can read and understand.

With the new wave of AI, it will be interesting to understand better approaches at data and communication. I would recommend exploring past initiatives that have worked in your industry and enhancing them through the use of AI and data. There are currently many AI tools that can help better target your audience through strategic communication and community outreach. For me, through the pandemic, I saw the incredible value of leveraging trusted community voices and organizations to enhance community outreach and public health initiatives in various campaigns to raise awareness of health topics and community events, along with utilizing local media to enhance targeted outreach for communities. #healthequity

The key to any kind of outreach is knowing who your audience is and speaking to them in their own words. You should adapt the (visual) medium to who you're trying to reach in the way that they will best understand. Authenticity is critical - for example, many make the mistake of adding token minorities to their promotional materials when the reality on the ground is much different. Lead with honesty, even when it might highlight shortcomings; the opportunity is in how you address them.

As the name implies, visual communication means you're trying to show the next person who isn't in your mind what is actually in your mind which makes me agree with other contributors about using photos, videos, infographics, charts, etc. However, one other crucial part of visual communication is data. Data and Design complement each other in visual communication and you cannot do one without the other. Data is what helps to increase your credibility and show stakeholders how passionate you are about your community outreach. It is what will help them trust you. Ensure you do thorough research and get adequate data backed by a clear, simple, and aesthetically pleasing design.
