Do you wish you had a better way to run all the meetings you have?  Do you wish you could not only be very productive but also have fun in the process?  Is your organization putting pressure on people to be more innovative?  These are some of the challenges people who run meetings are facing in the work world.  These are some of the needs that gave rise to the practice of visual meetings.

In his new book, Visual Meetings:  How Graphics, Sticky Notes & Idea Mapping Can Transform Group Productivity, David Sibbet writes:  I am very concerned that people seem to be more polarized and disconnected, with civil discourse degrading in democracies and conflict and authoritarianism rising as tempting alternatives.  I am also concerned about pressures at work and in the classroom.  Responding to the complexity and scale of changes in the economy and the environment is starting to outstrip our capabilities.  Running our organization lean, with slim or no travel budgets, and less and less time for real dialogue and engagement is challenging the quality of communications.  I think that what I am calling Visual Meetings is a direct response.”
