"The illustrative approach Motive8 bring to undertaking this kind of strategic thinking exercise is uniquely refreshing and effective and has helped us in many, many ways. Our people now use and talk about our picture in their everyday conversations, engaging with our strategic direction and what that means for them in a way that we could never have achieved with words on a page."

"Our vision and strategy has been brought to life successfully through the infographic concept. The Motive8 team quickly understood our complex environment and the change we are trying to enact, and they translated this into a fun and colourful picture. The professionalism that Rebecca & Ken demonstrated throughout the engagement coupled with their flexible approach and fresh thinking, resulted in an outcome that we are all very proud of".

"Motive8 achieved far more than our initial basic objectives. Providing a pictorial image that allowed common understanding was definitely fully effective as an end result, but in fact the much greater value was achieved in going through the process of ‘building’ the picture."
- Gordon Stevenson, ICT Sector Manager
Client: NZ Transport Agency

"A picture is worth a thousand words is a well known adage and as we developed our Information Systems Strategic Plan, at over 15 thousands words that needed to connect to all levels in and outside of our organisation, we needed a really great visual to convey the journey in bridging the gap of expectations from our current to future state. I recommend Motive8 to any organisation that is looking for this sort of 'thousand fold' payback."

"Within minutes of being introduced to the infographic concept we were hooked on the potential of a simple way to show and explain complex change messages to a diverse range of employees. We were not disappointed. The Motive8 team very quickly understood our strategy and translated it into a picture that clearly shows the way forward. It's now a key tool in the rollout of our change project. We're now exploring other infographic applications for internal and external communication."

"While I was initially cynical about whether we could tell our story in a picture, I was impressed with Motive8's ability to quickly sketch out an idea as we talked, that really picked up on what I was saying. The end result clearly showed our goals and environment in a way we could all relate to and I've had a lot of good feedback from the team at EECA about it."

"Rebecca and Ken were quick to grasp our requirements and translate them into a great visual which has received universally positive comment from right across the Ministry. Working with both of them was a real pleasure - they were flexible and very responsive despite tight timeframes and last minute changes. The valued tool was produced on time and at a very reasonable cost - it will be used over the coming months and years."

"When socialising the project with staff and managers, we showed them the graphic and they understood what we were talking about straight away. No long presentation slides needed, wordy strategic documents sent out - just the core information presented in a people friendly format".

"The NZ government faced a significant challenge when it needed to communicate the complex features of a new economic instrument, the NZ Emissions Trading Scheme, to the general public. Working to tight deadlines, Motive8's multi-dimensional approach provided a highly effective, distinctive and adaptable infographic that was clear, colourful and creative. We greatly appreciate the stellar effort by Motive8 to develop such a successful communication tool."

"In order to engage staff with a significant organisational change, the Motive8 approach proved ideal. The infographic provided a compelling presentation tool to clearly explain the need for change, the desired vision, and the journey to get there. Staff responded very positively to the new visual approach and widespread understanding and acceptance of the transformation emerged. We'd welcome working with Rebecca and Ken again".

"Our ability to compete stems from our ability to innovate, and discovering Motive8 was one of those rare "light bulb" experiences. It fundamentally changed the way I communicate innovative ideas, vision and strategy. Motive8 offers me the chance to engage people in the big picture and open up dialogue, ideas and contributions, in a dynamic and compelling way I could never achieve with text or standard PowerPoint. Plus it's fun working with Ken and Rebecca!"

"The result is great...our infographic echoes the key concepts that underpin the Strategy, providing a pictorial reinforcement to the engagement meetings and workshops we are conducting around New Zealand. It has helped us to introduce the Strategy, which potentially means quite a lot of change for stakeholders in some areas, in a more friendly way."
- Murray Dudfield, National Rural Fire Officer

"Motive8's approach involved a series of workshops for each subject area, concept drawings to tease out options and then iterative development of the preferred option. The result was a one page view of a very complex environment and three supporting illustrations, all of which provide a foundation for communicating the future states to a wide range of stakeholders. The professional standards that Rebecca and Ken apply and their efforts to understand the future border environment is reflected in a high quality product".

"I was faced with a real challenge of informing and explaining to the wider Transit business, how my specialist area of Network Operations fitted in with the more traditional road agency functions. This task was made so much simpler through Motive8. The whole process is fast - starting with facilitated discussion and followed by several refinements towards the finalised version. The infographics have become my key communication tool - they are easy to understand and allow me to explain where I fit within the business. Thanks Rebecca and Ken."

"We needed to communicate to our community about the air quality in Rotorua - what the problem was and what we were going to do to about it, without complicated scientific jargon or planner-speak. The response to this infographic was so positive that we quickly realised how valuable it was to have. Since then we've used Motive8 to explain other areas of our work in the community".

This infographic simplified numerous documents, each which explained a different aspect of ERMA's decision making process. Target audiences didn't understand the process and were critical. The infographic brought to life the key steps of the process and the underlying legislation, and achieved widespread interest, understanding and buy-in.
