Ep. 13: テレワークの世界でオンライン会議の価値を再考する with ガオ流（高柳健）

Ken Takayanagi is a graphic facilitator and uses visualization to guide people toward a goal. Takayanagi-san is also a certified scrum master and in our conversation you'll see how he leverages his IT prowess to extract the human element from his interactions. This conversation is a deep dive into how we can use the opportunity of COVID-19, forcing companies into remote work, to scale online facilitation and collaboration to re-write traditions that often got in the way of employee autonomy and creativity.

This episode is recorded in way that it's not necessary for you to have the video in front of you but in order to appreciate how impactful graphic facilitation is, I'd encourage you to go to the show notes have a look at the 3 minute video summary (https://youtu.be/y5_qJtPG1sQ).

Thank you to Takayanagi-san for sharing his talent, of using the power of visualization to bring the unseen into reality. If you enjoy this episode as much as I did make sure to let me know on your favourite social media platform.

This episode is in Japanese.
