Picture Collaboration

In our attention-deficit world, words alone never seem to cut it. Increasingly, we revel in images. Picture Collaboration provides facilitators, of all types, a visual approach to understanding and communicating what it truly means to work together, and get things done. It applies a visual lens to collaborative practices. Our brain is a visual processing dynamo. Adding visualization to your collaboration toolkit will benefit you, and those you serve. This practical guide shows you how. In Picture Collaboration, conflict management and collaboration specialist, Ben Ziegler, has teamed up with graphic recorder and visual artist, Tanya Gadsby. Their guide looks at 23 collaborative practices, grouped by: ● Relationships - how we, as individuals, interact with others ● Spaces - creating a healthy environment for collaboration ● Problem-solving techniques - specific practices, how-to’s, for getting it done Each practice is described through: an icon, illustration, and explanatory text. The illustrations serve as a bridge between the icons and text. The icons are intentionally designed to be easy to draw; as easy as child’s play. After all, learning to collaborate through visual communication should start early in life. Take your collaboration skills to the next level. Learn and apply this guide, your way. Please. The world needs more people fluent in the art and practice of collaboration.
