Clarity in a field that keeps getting more complex.
Bigger Picture & AI is where we make sense of artificial intelligence. Wherever you are on the journey, there is a way in.
Three ways to explore AI together
Each format is built on our visual approach: strong questions, simple sketches everyone can create, and clarity through seriously fun and engaging dialogue.
Sessions
Informal round tables over a lunch, an afternoon, or an evening. We sit with experts and clarifying visuals, and make a hard topic discussable. Walk away with new insights and first next steps.

Keynotes
Strong, pedagogical talks with very clear pictures on what AI is now and what it might become. We address the elephant in the room, and we stay agnostic.

Workshops
The conversations all teams must have. Now. Bespoke half-days. Pick one of three concepts, or co-design your own. Gain AI clarity.
From “AI for dummies” to leadership decisions
We are developing a suite of tools to help individuals, teams and organisations understand, explore and decide how to use, unfold and align AI. A visual language, context maps, dialogue tools, and strategy maps.

Ask about a toolAI as a tool with defined context and skills.
We use AI to strengthen our work. We give it clear context and defined skills, and we keep the drawing and the dialogue with people, us and our participants. Visual collaboration works because people learn and think together.
We follow thinkers and players across the spectrum
The people, podcasts, books, and organisations we read and watch, from those racing ahead to those urging restraint. Open a stance to see who we follow there.
Accelerationists (towards abundance for all)
Decelerationists (pause to ensure aligned and ethical AI)
