Here is a quick whiteboard sketch of what is going to be going on at the 2012 International Forum of Visual Practioners conference in Pittsburgh July 23-27 in the City of Bridges, Pittsburgh. This year we'll be talking about how using visual thinking to help groups is evolving, with a focus on the business, technology, and art of what David Sibbet calls "Group graphics." Info and registration here.

Chalk, two different colors of Post-It® Notes, and a blackboard create a nominal model of the Stone Age. How cool is that?
Day 17 of 100 Days Envizualized.
This shopping list is all about function. I needed to generate a list of groceries in a hurry.
Somehow, creating a list this way works better for me than making a linear list.
This image is part of 100 Days Envizualized, a project where I upload visual notes that I create on 100 consecutive days. To check out the other notes, go here
An eBook will be available of all 100 days worth of notes, with annotation, once the 100 days are over.
The economy is changing. The environment is changing. The ways that we communicate and interact are changing. It feels like everything is in flux -- there is a monumental shift in the air.
I can sense it. Can you sense it too?
There is a huge gap between we measure the value of a company and the way the market values it. New models of work are emerging -- the idea of a company as an individual entity is evolving into the idea of a company as an ecosystem.
Would Dell be Dell without its sophisticated network of global suppliers and information systems? Would Wal-Mart be Wal-Mart?
And it goes without saying that companies like Google, eBay and Yahoo are emerging into dominance by finding new ways of defining and creating value.
More than 20 years ago, management visionary Peter Drucker wrote, "The economy is forever going to change and is biological rather than mechanistic in nature."
And yet there is still so much we don't know and have no way to measure.
Yi-Tan means conversations about change. On Monday, May 14th (that's tomorrow for those of you who are reading this on Sunday, or today if you're reading this on Monday), I will join Jerry Michalski on his weekly Yi-Tan call to discuss how visual thinking is changing the way interact and communicate.
The topic: how to build shared visual meaning inside a company. We'll discuss:
-- When is visualization especially useful? How is it changing org charts and other common tools?
-- How do you engage work groups in visualization work?
-- How might we create better shared visual memory? Better visual contexts we can return to over and over?
This is the second call in a series on shared visual meaning. The first one was a group dialogue and I was one of the guests on that one too. You can listen to that call as a podcast here.
We will use a free Web document-sharing service that includes chat capabilities.
At the start of the Yi-Tan call, please head to Vyew and join meeting number 568542. If you'd like to practice with it first, join us in that meeting a half hour before the call starts. Jerry and I will both be there.

From a mini-workshop I led for Boston area higher education technologist. "Harnesssing Visual Thinking for Project Planning." Great group with folks from Brandeis, Wellesley, Harvard, Brandeis, Tufts, Wheaton College, and Wentworth Institute of Technology. Thanks to David G. Wedaman of Brandeis for being the point man in coordinating the event!
Diagram of my personal analysis of the process of observing reality.
One can see things, but there are always hidden levels of further meaning in every thing.
I think that there are some common rules or patterns in the structure of the hidden sub-entites. It's like a folded carpet - you can guess that it has a singular length, but if you try to unfold it's hidden loops you will discover that it's real length is much longer than you thought first... On a micro focus there will be much more sub-entities to be discovered!
Perhaps you can compare it to the experience in project processes. First you see a clear goal and guess a timeline to receive results. But the deeper you get into the matters the more little details have to be solved before you could achieve results that come next to the desired solution. If you make things too easy you will often only achieve a pseudo-solution that does not stand the goals behind it.
Does it sound well known to you..? :-)
