Examples of event scribing we’ve done over the years and posts on the topic of scribing, also known as graphic recording.
Couple of years ago I went to a talk by the (then) head of HR of Google Laszlo Bock at my alma mater London School of Economics (he was plugging his book Work Rules - Insights from inside Google that will transform how you will live and lead). One thing that caught my attention [...]

She then posted her "infocomic" online [...]
