1. RUN POWERFUL MEETINGS
with VISUAL FACILITATION

2. Have you ever run meetings that are truly engaging and productive?

3. What will happen if participants can really see
the shape of their conversations?

4. Think about visual facilitation!
In traditional meetings, conversations easily become
confrontational because people do not really under-
stand each other ideas’ meaning, neither do they see
how different points of view are connected and if there
is any other possibility. Moreover, some people do not
speak up due to hierarchy. Ideas are lost which would
affect the quality of the meeting “consensus”.
By recording ideas in visual, people feel respected and
so they are more willing to contribute their energy into
the meeting. At the same time, they are more inclined
to discover connections and possibilities among differ-
ent ideas. The way of doing this is called visual facilita-
tion.

5. How is visual facilitation done?
Usually a visual facilitator works with the meeting organizer to design the
meeting agenda and recommend different processes in order to encour-
age full participation, build shared understanding, construct inclusive so-
lutions and strengthen shared responsibility.
These processes may undergo a divergent, emergent and convergent
approach.

6. During the meeting, the visual facilitator
will capture conversations on large sheets
of mural paper with different text, shapes
and effects. He will construct meaningful
structure or models for the conversations.

7. As the meeting proceeds, these visual record will
gradually make up the whole wall. They serve as
important artifact which contain the essence of
all the conversations.

9. Besides recording by the visual facilitator, some processes can be done by
the participants themselves. They can draw their ideas, design models and
express comments or emotions. The meeting is interactive and engaging for
everyone.

10. Ok, I got your
point!

11. Why visual facilitation?
By a properly designed process, a group of people will be able to
do their best thinking by looking at an issue from multiple
perspectives. Moreover, seeing is believing! By putting things in
visual, people will spark new ideas more easily which will allow
them to discover something not expected before.

12. So, what can it help me?

13. ● Innovation workshop
● Strategic discussion
● Leadership training
● Presentation training
● Visioning session
You can use visual facilitation to run these kind of meetings
and obtain productive results. They usually require a large
amount of conversations. Tensions may exist and this is why
the value of visual facilitation will be more prominent.

14. After the meeting, the visual record can be further transformed
into digital documents so that the meeting conclusions can be
shared with other people inside the organization. In such way,
even people not present in the meeting will know about it.

15. Our new experiment
We are exploring how visual facilitation methods can be
used to assist learning. Can we help learners connect
their knowledge so that they can learn more easily?
What about kids? Will visual facilitation methods assist
the growth of intelligence?

16. We are also involved in a project called
“Learning In” (学习研究所) which aims to
promote a new social way of learning.
