Quartet Introduces Digital Flipchart to Increase Meeting Productivity

The flipchart…it’s been a staple of collaboration and ideation,
serving as the cocktail napkin for great ideas during meetings for
decades. But in today’s world of work efficiency, the flipchart has
been slowed by its shortcomings, namely the time it takes to
transcribe the notes and accurately interpret what was discussed
during the meeting. To address this issue, Quartet, a leader in
visual communication solutions, created Quartet® Kapture, the
first-ever flipchart that allows meeting participants to instantly
write, capture and digitally share meeting notes. Complete product
information is available at www.quartetkapture.com.
At first glance, Kapture looks and feels like an ordinary
flipchart. It features flipchart paper, color markers and an easel.
However, a closer look at Kapture reveals the integration of simple
yet effective technology – providing an intuitive solution that
does not force users to change behavior.
Similar to conventional brainstorming, users can capture notes
on the self-adhesive flipchart pages and post them around the
conference room, keeping all information visible. The Kapture
Digital Pen incorporates a camera that communicates via Bluetooth®
to a computer through a USB receiver. When all is said and done,
every word, pie chart or squiggly line is captured in real-time by
a computer for easy editing and sharing.
Research shows that capturing and distributing digital flipchart
pages as notes is more accurate. The use of visuals increases the
recall of the meeting’s details and decisions; plus saves time and
money. On average, 10 pages of flipcharts are captured in a typical
meeting and it takes 10 minutes to transcribe each page.
Eliminating this process through the use of a Kapture saves an
estimated $150 each meeting and enables meeting notes to be
distributed within minutes. A full demo video is available
here.
While Kapture brings the flipchart into the digital age, Quartet
was careful not to overdo it with technology.
“The paper flipchart has always been essential, creating a
visual representation of the conversation during team meetings,
status updates, brainstorming sessions, problem solving exercises,
educational settings and many other collaborative efforts, ” said
Jim Kowalczyk, brand manager for Quartet. “So, when it came to
rethinking the flipchart, we erred on the side of simple but
effective. In other words, we addressed the issues – productivity,
simplicity, communication and efficiency – while maintaining what
has made the flipchart so invaluable.”
The Quartet Kapture is available now at office supply dealers or
