Visual Proceedings

[romy shovelton]

Jay (Vogt)

a quick note following an ancient posting of yours.....!

At almost all events I do these days (including Open Space), I take with me
a graphic facilitator (trained with the folks at Grove - David Sibbert et
al)..... and we produce a large graphic record of the whole event.   You
probably know of the Grove work.

Generating a graphic record has a whole range of benefits - just the first
of which is that the graphic proves to be a fantastic instant reminder of
the whole experience that everyone went through together, when they get
back to their various monday mornings in several weeks/months time.  The
graphic is also a brilliant way of bringing on board those who weren't
there at the event  itself.  In the culture change work I am currently
doing at the UK Department of Trade and Industry, it was the graphic
(produced during a workshop with the top 30 people in the Department), that
brought on board the Permanent Secretary - who then came to the next stage
event (much larger) and is one of the greatest promoters of our 'change'
work.

I also take LOTS of photographs - digital and 'normal'.... to include in
any reports - inc. on line etc

would love to know what other ways you are finding of producing visual
proceedings.

all the best

Romy

hi,romy,
i agree very well on your experience. having been formerly a grafic designer
from my origin
i realised myself lots and lots of grafic records. but doing it myself as a
facilitator  had become
more and more impossible, because visualizing the process is as well
generating the process.
that should not be too strong in selforganized process, as we facilitate it on
lgi.
recently i gave a lecture upon just-in-time-visualization on a congress at
vienna.
there i met inspiring people with experience in that field of work:
international institute for information design,vienna,  iiid, peter
simlinger,  ps.id at magnet.at
fred lakin,  the performing graphics company, www.pgc.com, lakin at pgc.com
reinhard kuchenmüller, visuelle protokolle, leopoldstrasse 19, 80802 münchen,
fax 0049.89.34089947
take the contact if its seems usefull.
have good experience, stay open. florian

I talked to the CEO of the european headquarter of a company operating in
the field of medical engineering. The company walked through an merging
process recently.
They want to improve cooperation und understanding and want to raise the
quality of the processes of distribution
as well. The company's  language is english, but most of the employeed are
dutch. They are about 50 people there.

We talked about OS as a helpful option, but I feel that it is an important
working condition in that case, not to emphasise the international aspect,
but to speak the "people's language" (in both meanings of the words). My
companies languages are mainly german and english, so I promised our help to
find consultants, who can support a process of developement in this company
(located near Amsterdam) in dutch and english, which may be include
OS-conferences.

This process can be started immediately. If you are interested or can give
helpful connection please contact directly Mr. Eckhard Vogel, e-mail:
eckhardvogel at compuserve.com

many thanks for you help
