AW: Theme Reaction / Visualisation of messages

[Hape Etzold]

Hi Thomas, first mindmapping comes to my mind. I like the concept very much.
Actually I rarely meet people being enthuastic about the mindmapped
protocols. I wonder why. I read a book about visual langauge. The author
developed grammar and so on: Robert E. Horn, Visual Language. Global
Communication for the 21 st Century. Matthias zur Bonsen has got an example
about future planning of an insurance company on his website
www.all.in-one-spirit.de. Recently I talked to a few software freaks. They
announced a software which analyses large bodies of text in major languages
and is to find the essentials among the blabla. On www.readware.de you can
downlaod a trial software. I didn´t try it yet.

Good luck - Hape Etzold

Thanks Jeff, good idea.
Right now I'm thinking a lot about ways to visualize. Yesterday I
participated i a one-day course of Group Graphics (a simple way of drawing
and picking keewords to summarize an discussion/meeting or so). Facinating,
I can see many situations where it could be useful to me. I will use it next
week in the summary of a World-café-style meeting i will facilitate.
I'm interested in experiences, using different ways of making the results of
OST visual during the meeting. Maybe some of you use Graphics or similair
ways instead of picking coffee cups (what Harisson sometimes recommends if
you like to look busy).
Greetings THomas

Sometimes when I find myself with a complex theme, I draw a triangle to
show to the gathered participants. At each apex of the triangle is an
important aspect of the theme. Then I explain that we are interested in the
issues and opportunities that arise somewhere in this triangle. Each person
might choose to emphasize one aspect more than the others, but there is
some coherence.
