I had the privilege of being exposed to this trade through a company in San Francisco called The Grove Consultants International. The Founder and President, David Sibbet, not only pioneered the application of graphic recording and facilitation in meetings, but he also created theoretical models of group process to move companies and teams to high performance. When I was working at The Grove, David asked me to re-create the chart above, based on an original he had been using for years. So what you’re seeing is one of my very first large-scale, freehand infographics based on Grove content. I must say, it’s nice to no longer be a rookie. 🙂
