I’m planning a meeting for May where a group of scientists will come together to plan their reporting on five years of study. In their case they have been monitoring glaciers and snow melt. I am tasked with helping bring together the different studies to come under one technical report. The report should help connect the work of everyone together to tell a bigger story (hopefully).
When looking at ways to think and write together, I surfed through the list serve of one of my favourite networks (www.km4dev.org) which is full of people who help bring knowledge beyond the individual. On one thread a variety of awesome tools were listed. These included using kanban boards, ecocycle planning and visual facilitation. Wow!
While I haven’t used the kanban board specifically as a tool, I have unintentionally done similar processes and I will certainly consider this in planning with the scientists. I have used the ecocycle a fair bit (and love it) though I think its not the best tool for our needs at this meeting. As far as visual facilitation, I will be brainstorming up numerous ways to embed this into our meeting to help us stay on track, communicate as a group, see the bigger picture and have more FUN!
If you are keen to learn more about visual facilitation / graphic facilitation, want to get the most out of your meetings and your planning, consider joining us to learn the basics of the art (no experience necessary) – July 9-10, 2018 in Rossland, BC, Canada.
