The best praise I can give this book is that I kept putting it down so I could sketch out my plans and ideas on how to apply its techniques to the meetings I have scheduled over the next month.
I like Sibbet's use of storytelling to present his case studies. It's probably not everyone's cup of tea. But even though I usually glaze over these sorts of "one time when I was at Company XYZ..." stories I found his very interesting and applicable to my own experience. He's concise without leaving out th...more

In “Visual Meetings: How Graphics, Sticky Notes and Idea Mapping Can Transform Group Productivity,” (Wiley) author and business consultant David Sibbet, explains, in quite lucid terms, the advantages of utilizing the new language of visual thinking particularly in the group setting for the creation and communication of ideas, plans and programs designed for ease of use and maximum comprehension.

Eminently scannable and flip-thru-able. A good desk reference for those rare spare moments between assignments at work, over lunch at the desk, or in anticipation of an upcoming facilitation event or brainstorming meeting. The book delivers a powerful message, simplicity in pictures, and actually speeds up communication, collaboration, and process mapping skills. I would think it would be useful to teachers, scientists, and anyone who ever has to stand up in front of a white board with a marker...more
I must admit that I had no idea what graphic facilitation or graphic recording was before reading this book. Nor I knew there were people who do this for a living!
The idea is good: how to make meetings more memorable, how to learn more from them and how to engage people. Things that are actually lacking in many meetings.
I liked the clear and simple structure of the book. There is, however, maybe to much description on each technique. But that is probably the whole idea - a description of method...more

This is a too-long book for the content it delivers. After reading The Back of the Napking, this book isn't that helpful at all. If you're 100% new to meetings and graphic modeling of ideas, then this book might help you in some way, otherwise I think it doesn't worth the time.
Changed the way that I view meetings and both personal and group productivity. Extremely practical and insightful, and the author doesn't skimp on the graphics that he preaches, making this a fairly easy read.
How can I not like this book, this is what I do. And you don't have to be artistically gifted to use it, he teaches great little tricks for drawing that any graphically-challenged person can learn.
Unlike The Back of the Napkin by Dan Roam this book does NOT practice what it preaches. In my opinion this is a major sin for a book about visual methods.
Good reference book for facilitators who want to add graphics to their skills and tools of facilitation
Great toolkit for livening up meetings
"Nice book on practical techniques for meeting facilitation. Mostly a reference, skimming sort of book."
Having witnessed David Sibbet at a meeting, I must say that he is incredible to watch. We walked into a room with blank walls, during our meeting our ideas started to take shape before our eyes and at the end of the meeting the energy was so positive. So different from past meetings, I'd pay extra for meetings like this all the time.
I know I'm not a person who can lead graphic meetings like this, it is an art, however, I'd gladly attend them and pay for them.

Nice Use cases that express the core ideas.
