CLOC Talk
The Center for Learning and Organizational Change (CLOC) at Northwestern sponsored a Perspectives talk and an informational session about their Masters program. The speaker was Rob Schnieders of Aha! Interactive and the topic was how bring tools and methodologies for evaluation into educational environments. It looks like Aha! Interactive is doing good work to help evolve education systems.

Real-time journaling is (most commonly) when I bring my sketchbook to a talk and use my graphic facilitation skills on a small scale. I do it to practice, to learn something new, to introduce the work to others, if others nearby are interested.

I was very, very impressed with CLOC's programs and approach. I highly recommend that those interesting in learning about learning, knowledge management and organizational change to check out their programs.

Ann Telnaes
Working late, I was listening to stories on NPR.org. Nice story about editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes. I've never seen her work, not a newspaper reader. Wowsa. Great work. Fantastic combination of human expression and symbolism to get her ideas across. Check out her site for more!

More or Less New
Yesterday I had a day's work with a new graphic facilitation client in a far-flung suburb. Most often, I'm at an event and drawing real-time in front of the group participating, strategizing, brainstorming. In this case, the event was over and I was there to work with the man who design the event to create a summary graphic. That graphic would be used by the folks in the event to explain to the people not at the event what they were doing at the event.

Got it?

Ok, so the client wanted very little text. Normally, I use text and words together, to appeal to both the image oriented and the text oriented minds. Since this was going to be sent with a summary document to support it with the text for the text-focused folks, I was game.

Here's 3 details from the final image. Guess what each image means and click on the image to see the answers:
