facilitation is the practice of using words and images to create
a conceptual map of a conversation. A graphic facilitator is the
visual, usually silent partner to the traditional, verbal facilitator,
drawing a large scale image at the front of the room in real-time.
Graphic facilitation
is both process and product. Watching the graphic
facilitator create the map as the group speaks is highly experiential
and immediate. It focuses the group as they work, aiding concentration
by capturing and organizing their ideas. Everyone can watch their
ideas take shape;

|
the manifestation
is most resonant with the visual, spatial and systematic thinkers
in the group, but it's a powerful tool of recognition for everyone.
After the
event, the map becomes a document; evidence of the meeting's progress
and direction. This resulting conceptual map is an engaging and
meaningful tool, because the audience watched its creation in
relationship to their experience. Images being emotional and subjective,
participants can interpret the image and recall their own "Aha!"
moments.
