David's Portfolio

  • Visa History
    I selected the following large Storymap's as representative examples of my information design work at The Grove where I was the lead designer. Each of them were critical in moving us to another level of confidence and excitement about this big picture way of working. What these photos do not show, of course, is the rich process of facilitated design meetings that we led as a way of generating this material. The value of these sessions to client organizations is huge, as a wonderful, safe way to lead people into created a common story to which everyone can commit.

My Strategic Visioning Collaborators

  • Meryem Le Saget
    I've included this photo album of some of the people in The Grove's associate network that use our facilitation and Strategic Visioning methods integrally in their work. They are my teachers and I theirs. Collaboration networks are behind most truly innovative, robust methodologies, and our is no exception. Claiming credit as an individual would be like a tree claiming credit for the forest. If you aren't here and know that you should be, send me you picture and a writeup and I'll post it.

Partners for Change Model

  • Sustainabilityplayersmap
    These are two supportive visuals for a Partners for Change model I co-designed with Sissel Waage and Ruth Rominger. It shows how we would bring multiple sustainability researchers and activists together around critical issues and support them to create collaborative efforts in media and tool creation.

Informal Learning: Rediscovering the Natural Pathways That Inspire Innovation and Performance

Jay Cross has done a wonderful job of surveying the new field of knowledge work and what those of us in the 21st Century are doing to help people truly learn in groups and organization. He takes inspiration for the title from the work of the Institute for Research on Learning (now part of Far West Labs) that found that informal, social learning was the most powerful for bringing about real change and development. This work sparked the communities of practice movement among others.

The book has a wonderful chapter on my work at National Semiconductor in the early 1990's with numerous graphics.
