Every organization
needs to uniquely differentiate itself in order to play strong in a fuzzy future. This requires choosing an adaptive path, building co-created solutions and journeying together co-operatively by incorporating changes that matter!
But can it be done with the existing ways of working, communicating & collaborating?
“Logical and precise, left-brain thinking gave us the Information Age. Now comes the Conceptual Age – ruled by artistry, empathy, and emotion.” – Daniel PINK
“Logical planning and implementation have got business where it is—it will not take it where it needs to go in this millennium. The call for flexibility, imagination, and creativity at work is growing every year” – Richard OLIVIER
“People cannot afford to choose between reason and intuition, or head and heart any more than they would choose to walk on one leg or see with one eye.” – Peter SENGE
What if
there was a way to engage the head & heart to LEARN wholesomely, THINK conceptually, COLLABORATE meaningfully and CREATE inventively

I met Ashley of StoryPreso in a LinkedIn group of visual thinkers....intrigued by an Indian graphic recorder, it led to a phone call, which led to meetings and us working together to facilitate and graphic record in real time a gathering of thought leaders from diverse fields who had gathered in Bangalore to think about plausible futures that we could work towards. The gathering, a Yokogawa initiative, was a success and Ashley's graphics, visualizing the conversation as it evolved, played a critical part in facilitating the process. It expanded memories, made connections, raised questions, provoked conversations.
Rathin Roy, Facilitator of Learning, Strategic Thinking and Change
We really appreciated working with StoryPreso at our 2013 International Annual Conference. We have used the graphic reports and presentations in our annual report, website and in our internal communication. We certainly would like to work with StoryPreso in the future again.
Maaike Van Zuilen, World Association of Eye Hospitals
We have nothing but praise for Ashley’s contribution to our workshop. His creativity, professionalism, and talent infused the day with energy and vitality. Ashley consulted with the team in-depth beforehand regarding the goals, audience, and structure of the workshop and suggested the best approaches to integrating his graphic recordings into the agenda, going beyond the stand-alone recording off to the side that we had first envisioned. His work became a critical part of the breakout discussions and helped provide a visual template for participants to work from, sparking better conversations as a result. Throughout the day, we kept hearing praise for the skill, speed and thought that went into Ashley’s illustrations. Thoughtful, professional - Highly recommended.

StoryPreso has done a phenomenal work creating FY14 accomplishment infographic for Cisco CDO L&D team. The team is extremely effective and efficient. Not only was the deliverable completed on time in high quality, the entire planning/design/delivery process was seamless and executed against a very short timeframe. Your focus on high customer satisfaction is much appreciated. Great work!

It was a wonderful experience having Ashley with us as part of the Slowfood festival at Shillong, India. Right from the time when he personally helped me craft a persuasive presentation for raising awareness and generating funds to the meaningful graphic work he sketched live at the event, we have been exposed to his creativity and professionalism. His endeavor to understand deeply our needs, asking questions that trigger greater clarity and focus and putting them all together into one cohesive package has helped us towards better communication. Everyone at the event enjoyed his large-scale live sketching and big picture depiction of the presentations and conversations. This output has indeed added value to the international event.
Phrang Roy, Chairman NESFAS, Slowfood
Ashley had done a very fine job of teaching us to design much better presentations. From the way, the training was facilitated to the patience with which he helped each of us experience the process is commendable. My eyes have really been opened to how fundamental design changes in presentations can change the way we communicate at work. All the best to Ashley and his team.

Effectiveness in any context comes from the ability to convey ideas and convince people. Unfortunately for most of us, our words fall short and great ideas remain just that - ideas. Thankfully that's where Ashley comes in and makes a difference. His meticulous research and perceptive spontaneous drawings bring ideas to life, giving them clarity and helping them break through the clutter of jargon and dull prose.
PR Ganapathy Chief Operating Officer, Villgro Innovations
I have found in Ashley a sensitive spirit which enables him to reach out and build connections with everyone with equal ease and poise. He is intuitively gifted in the area of leadership and we can count on him to just do what is right for the situation.
Sunil Robert, Director – Marcomm, Oracle
Storypreso helped us create our first corporate presentation after spending valuable time, discussing how we can present our unique story to the world. They developed a meaningful flow, with relevant design and crafted a presentation deck which has helped us a lot in building our business. We even imbibed the design elements from the presentation as part of our brand identity.
Rajinder Gandotra, Founder Partner, Avekshaa
I was introduced to Ashley in connection with the future/visioning exercise we were conducting in 2012. We were mostly done with the preparatory work by the time he joined, thus making his job all the more difficult. I should say he did a good job, hitting the ground running. The exercise involved intense & focused discussions from experts from diverse fields starting from technology, science, economics to politics and the challenge for Ashley was to capture all the details as an infographic story in real time. His friendly demeanor helped him quickly become a part of the team of facilitators and he approached his work with a great spirit of professionalism – mostly beyond the spirit of the written contract.
Naveen Kashyap, Yokogawa
We worked with Ashley to guide our FY’15 business planning process. Ashley is an outstanding facilitator, masterful at guiding the discussion forward when the team gets stuck. Not only is he an excellent facilitator he did an amazing job of capturing outcomes through graphic artistry that captured the interconnectedness of the work. Exceptional!
