    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.

Vision 2020—The Bifurcation of Business

I'm getting ready to go on a vision quest at Joshua Tree National Monument this April, seeking guidance in these challenging times. In the process I stumbled across a podcast I made for Firehawk Hulin and Bill Veltrop and their Vision 2020 series with Stranova. I was in a flow that day, talking as if I was in 2020. It's a fun listen!!! Can you imagine returning to localized agriculture after peak oil? Can you imagine visual literacy and multi-touch walls commonplace? Can you imagine children's creativity being held in public trust? Can you imagine the West Coast's major industry being health and tourism? Can you imagine re-embracing indigenous wisdom and having a different dream in the north, which honors the long cycles?  Click here to listen to The Coming Bifurcation of Business.
