Visual meetings: how graphics, sticky notes and idea mapping can transform group productivity

This book is about VISUAL MEETINGS--using drawing and images the way people have always used spoken language -- as a real-time medium for making sense of out things, and literally ‘seeing what we mean!’ It is about how this development is being used in Silicon Valley as a way for groups to work virtually and face-to-face. It is about the movement beyond paper and whiteboards to all kinds of other media, and the steady growth of a common visual language and sets of conventions. If you haven't heard of visual meetings, graphic facilitation, graphic recording, sketch notes, visual recording, imagineering, story boarding, visual listening, group graphics, graphic templates, mind mapping, idea mapping, real-time design, or group graphics don't despair. Revolutions take timeto gather momentum, spreading along for years and then exploding into sight. You are catching up at just the right time. This book will treat you to a sweep of tricks and tools, all of which you can do yourself if you have a mind to practice just a little. Just has social networking has begun to reclaim the Internet for human interactivity and co-creation, the visual meetings movement is reclaiming everyday work for creativity, productivity and playful exchange. This book will trace the development of visual meetings, and shares the many tools and techniques that have emerged, and end with a speculation on where it all is going and how you can be a part of it. Have fun. It's intoxicating to draw out the best in people and watch them come alive. It's what organizations need, what the planet needs, and anyone who wants to work BOTH right and lift parts of their brain and use their whole body for communications will enjoy.
