"Different Roles of Players in the Process and Result of a Session." What makes Visual Thinking so special?(III)

The picture above is about what participants and Visual Thinkers/Graphic Facilitators in a workshop will focus on in terms of "process" and "result". This picture above differentiates different expectations and purposes of participants and Visual Thinkers/Graphic Facilitators.

In top-right fan, participants always focus more on a promising result while, in bottom-left fan, Visual Thinkers’/Graphic Facilitators’ first priority is to build a sense-making process for participants.

In terms of the result in sessions, the top-left fan indicates that participants are beneficial to sense-making in the process. Finally, Visual Thinkers/Graphic Facilitators help to reach the result by building mutual sense-making in bottom-right fan.

We can conclude that Visual Thinkers/Graphic Facilitators need to alter their focus and skills in different phases in group sessions in order to assist participants’ expectations. They should be sensitive to participants’ demands and weakness in every phase, and keep on supporting them.
