This post links you to a video about my presentation on Visual Meetings at a recent TEDxSOMA event at the ParisSOMA loft South of Market Street in San Francisco. My Parisian college Meryem Le Saget introduced me to the sponsor Clement Alterseco, President of FaberNovell in Paris, several months ago and it led to an invitation. ParisSOMA is a shared workspace for young entrepreneurs, very much in the spirit of the TED events, whose motto is "ideas worth sharing." My own ideas have formed over the 38 years I've been a visual practitioner and are condensing into a book for Wiley & Sons on the subject that will come out this summer. My 10 minute fly-over is a fast-paced review of what feels like a real revolution in how we communicate in organizations.

David's Portfolio
- I selected the following large Storymap's as representative examples of my information design work at The Grove where I was a lead designer on the project. 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.
My Strategic Visioning Collaborators
- 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
- 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.
