Visual Language™ is a method for documenting business system procedures and work instructions using elements of flowcharting, story boarding and icons to create documents that are clear, effective and easy to use.

Visual Language™ combines graphical elements and a minimum of text, replacing the old method of text-heavy procedures and reducing the overall bulk of your documentation. Visual Language™ allows you to create documents that can be used as tools for training, communication and business process improvement.

Proven Benefits

Studies have shown that creating business system documentation using a visual method leads to:

80% decrease in first draft development time
75% decrease in document revision time
50% decrease in number of words in documents
10% to 50% decrease in reading time
40% increase in use of documentation

By increasing the overall readability and usability of your business process documentation, Visual Language™ will lead to better communication, more effective training, and fewer errors.

Hands-On Workshops

Our workshops will teach your document writers to create clear, effective business system documentation using Visual Language™. To begin the class, lecture, discussion and exercises are used to create an understanding of the method. Later, participants work in teams to think through and draft procedures that relate to their jobs. At the close of the workshop, students will have created a final draft of a working procedure.

We'll Convert You!

If you'd like to see what your current documents would look like using the Visual Language™ method, fax us a copy of one of your procedures, and we'll convert it to our format and send it back to you. We're certain that you'll immediately recognize the benefits of this proven method!
