5. Next stop:
Visual Thinkery
Why choose it...
We chose Visual Thinkery as a way
to make our strategy for three main
reasons:
1. To enable genuine
collaboration
2. To distill our thinking into clear
aims
3. To create a strategy that puts
our values into practice

13. The power of
visual thinkery
Initial feedback to the launch has
been very positive, leading to
increased engagement from
Members.
We aim to use Visual Thinkery to
help us communicate what
progress we are making and how -
creating a more open approach to
governance and more transparency
for Members.

15. Opportunities
for working
together
UCISA is an important long term
partner for ALT and we already
have an effective exchange of
information and liaison.
UK: Surveys (i.e. ALT’s Annual
Survey is aligned with UCISA),
UCISA perspective on
professionalisation, collaboration on
events, strategic liaison.
International: working with
professional bodies in the US,
sharing strategic information and
cross-promotion at events.www.alt.ac.uk
