Graphic facilitation (sometimes called scribing or graphic recording) is a tool that more and more organizations are using to enhance their meetings, presentations and group dialogues. During a session a scribe captures (in real-time) the ebbs and flows of the discourse in pictures and words. What you are left with is a robust, relevant, colorful (and fun) document of the work you did and the conversations you had during the session. The images are then photographed with a high-resolution digital camera, cleaned, and then beautifully packaged for you to send to your participants (in whatever form is most useful for you - a PowerPoint deck, a PDF, a website, etc...)

Everyone - or so it seems. Graphic facilitation is rapidly gaining recognition (worldwide) as a highly valuable tool (especially when used in conjunction with good facilitation in collaborative work environments). Over the past eight years I have worked with big-business, small-business, non-profit organizations, educational institutions, hospitals, government and military. I have travelled to Afghanistan, China, India, Thailand, Burkina Faso, France, Holland, the UK, Canada and all over the US (and Egypt coming up). Both public and private sector organizations are using this tool, covering just about every industry group you can think of. Typically, the people who end up hiring a graphic facilitator are looking for a way to better engage their participants and build excitement and enthusiasm. They also are looking to do something new. “If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got.” They want to strengthen their cultures and foster meaningful dialogue. They want to embed innovation and creativity into the way they run their meetings. They want a powerful visual record of their dialogues.
