I so
enjoy going to the Chicago
Humanities Festival. This year I made it to two talks,
this one and Inventing
Kindergarten. This was a super interesting panel of
four men talking about how small acts can build up to large
movements. Basically, the top half of the drawing was
Columbia College industrial design professor Kevin
Henry speaking (the mining pyramid clockwise to participation).
The circle at 4:00 on the clock was Columbia College professor
and bicycle enthusiast Zack
Furness. At 6:00 and the great connecting key point
in the upper left was University of Chicago doctoral student
Kris
Cohen. The lower right corner was Chicago web developer
Adrian
Holovaty who introduced his project EveryBlock.com,
that got the crowd buzzing.
Graphic
facilitatorBrandy Agerbeck helps clients navigate
the complex territory of their meetings, workshops and conferences.
As a visual, usually silent partner to the traditional, verbal
facilitator, she draws a large scale map of the conversation at
the front of the room in real-time. Transforming your discussion
into a tangible drawing frees your best minds to focus, make more
connections, generate new ideas and get more good work done.
