    Picture Collaboration - Ben Ziegler

    Authors

    Introduction

    People work together, collaborate, to solve problems.

    When the collaboration is good, ideas and solutions flow.

    Unfortunately, there is a flipside to that positive scenario. The collaborative habit may not come easy to us. And, even when we think we have that collaboration thing down, it's easy to regress, from we to me. A roomful of high capacity individuals does not guarantee team success.

    We get better at collaboration, or anything else for that matter, through daily practice. Make it a habit and success seems to follow. One way I've been working on my collaborative habit over the last few years is to visualize the collaborative process. That journey brings me to this Guide book.

    In our attention-deficit world, words alone never seem to cut it. We revel in images, photographs, sketches, videos... Our brain is a visual processing dynamo. We draw meaning through the visual; whether it’s the face of a potential mate, or the marketing of a product.

    The core idea of this e-book is that we can habituate ourselves to good collaboration through visual literacy. This e-book gives you 23 collaborative signs for the journey ahead.

    Imagine driving along a winding, mountain highway. There are road signs everywhere. They signal what’s ahead; a curvy road, a steep descent, falling rocks... Sometimes, the road sign is only a picture. No words. We get the message, though. Driver, beware! We’ve learned and internalized the message. It’s a habit, second nature. We see the sign. We act accordingly.

    The genesis of this guide is my work as a mediator and facilitator. In those roles, I help people and organizations work together, to bridge differences. I wanted a quick visual reference guide of the techniques I use. So, I started to build a list of icons; adapting others, and creating some from scratch.

    This Guide contains 23 collaborative practices; grouped by collaborative relationships, spaces, and problem-solving techniques. Each practice is described through: 1) an icon, 2) an illustration, and 3) explanatory text. The illustrations serve as a bridge between the icons and text. Given my illustrative skills are rudimentary, that led me to Tanya Gadsby.

    In addition to her talents as a graphic recorder, Tanya knows collaboration, and is a facilitator in her own right. Her illustrations are unique, emotive and connective. They have influenced my thoughts and truly capture the collaborative spirit. Pictures are worth a lot of
