Discover the power of visual collaboration & communication

Unblok is an activating communication tool for teams to provide insight into challenges, problems, ideas and processes through storytelling.

Stop discussing. Start with Unblok

Unblok is suitable for anyone who wants to create new insights into challenges or issues. Tangible meetings create more understanding within deep collaborations. With a diverse range of objects, all participants can clearly convey their thoughts. This way you can easily create tangible insights about your challenge, so that more conscious and more substantiated choices can be made. Due to the active attitude, all participants bear ownership of the result and a common summary is created. This makes working together, meeting and communicating more fun, active and effective.

The Unblok package

Toolkit

De Unblok toolkit bestaat uit 140+ fysieke houten objecten en een handige draagtas. De objecten zijn onderverdeeld in 4 categorieën: Wie, wat, waar & abstract. De illustraties zijn zo ontworpen dat ook ruimte is voor eigen interpretatie van ieder object zodat ze multi-inzetbaar zijn.

Platform

In the online environment of Unblok you can easily digitize your offline work sessions. In this way you make collected information visually understandable and you visualize what is difficult to capture in text. You get free access to the Unblok platform with the purchase of a physical toolkit.

Trainings

Do you want to broaden your skills as a facilitator or professionalize your team in activating collaboration? Then we offer training to learn how to get the most out of Unblok. During a training you learn to work in depth with all methods and work forms for visual collaboration.

Active facilitation

Do you work a lot with teams and stakeholders as a facilitator? Then Unblok is definitely for you. Working with Unblok creates space to involve different stakeholders while structuring a challenge. No misinterpretations of everyone's input, but clear transfer of thoughts or knowledge and guidance in future (process) steps. But even better, it's much more efficient than normal meetings. Real? Yes really. In short, the way to take collaboration to an activating level.

Methods

Unblok can be used in various activating working methods. We've highlighted six of the most commonly used methods, but you can of course apply it however you see fit. Using Unblok requires little prior knowledge and therefore offers a lot of room for your own creativity. View all (video) explanations about how to get the most out of Unblok on the work methods page.

A very effective way to map complex and business challenges with organizations in a light-hearted way. Where communication ambiguities in particular come to the fore and we therefore get to the essence much faster. I use Unblok in almost every conversation with managers.

Unblok helps to lower the creative threshold, making something new is always difficult. It gives you a starting point and that works well.
