Visualizing a Complex Discussion

Situation: Day-long meeting is "all over the map." Eileen captures the flow of the discussion on a single page. These "conceptual graphics" provide a non-linear, visual perspective. Information is immediately available, not trapped in a paragraph deep in someone's notes. Benefits: Reduced to an 8 1/2 x 11 image or a picture on the web, the graphics create an easily-understood record of the event for reference and to share with others. It becomes possible to interpret the flow of a meeting without having to be there.
