Naturally, when I describe the process of Gamestorming, it immediately begs the question: But what does it LOOK LIKE? It is visual thinking, after all.

I refreshed my union history during the latest Gamestorming session right down the street from the White House. Working with Union Privilege, a program of the AFL-CIO, together we used visual thinking and game techniques to devise their master plan for shifting from good to great.
