Graphic Facilitation
The use of graphics to help engage and galvanise facilitated groups is an increasingly popular and successful technique.
Scribing provides real-time feedback in the form of images, diagrams and key points. Instead of reams of paper and flip-charts, as a facilitated workshop progresses it is easy to see what has been discussed, to get dialogue back on track. Scribing is a powerful tool for critical thinking, problem solving and strategic planning.
This approach to group facilitation activities works well for:
- Boardroom discussion : images encourage big-picture thinking
- Blue-sky sessions : helps harmonise opinion
- Regular meetings : helps clarify thinking
- Workshops : helps delegates back at their desks maintain the energy of an event
- Presentations : an alternative to 'death by PowerPoint'
See our examples of Scribing elsewhere in this section. The images should speak for themselves.
