A picture’s worth a thousand words. We all learn and absorb information differently. Much to our amazement, we’ve figured out that using pictures can articulate a vision better than words ever could. That’s why graphic recording is an integral part of our facilitation methods.
Graphic recording is a process that is used to record meetings in words and pictures on a large visual display. It sort of a bird’s eye view of the entire group landscape or situation. The benefits of graphic recording are immediate. It stimulates creativity. It increases productivity. And the display provides a group memory of the meeting that is easy to understand and share with others.
Essentially, graphic recording is using drawings to draw out the answers. Let’s face it, by definition, shouldn’t a vision be visual? We’ve found that when a group draws out the actual picture of how they vision their future, they are more focused, there’s more buy-in from the stakeholders and the momentum of the process creates the type of results most of us wish we could experience.

I cannot say enough good things about the facilitation service offered by Tim Corey and Steve Donaldson. Their unique ability to combine spiritual discernment and practical task management kept an excellent focus for our group, while still allowing everyone to be heard and to sense the value of each contribution. Coupling this method with the creativity of Tim's art meant that everyone present was both challenged in their preconceptions and opened to see ideas in a new and more dynamic modality.
I would use them anytime I wanted to foster creativity and also move the group towards action: they helped our group see, not just think about, our future." ~John D. Whitney, SJ, St. Joseph Parish, Seattle, Washington
