Does it serve the client's needs?

Is the visual practitioner competent to go digital?

Versus the option of having a videocamera following the Graphic recorders work in real time on the wall.

Pierre is French but has gone to Australia. His company of four; wheretofromhere, seeks to provide environment for companies to find their own solutions to their problems. Seeking to develop Asian node, probably in Singapore, and network with local facilitators, graphic recorders.

He spoke of the setup they use for graphics at meeting: Swiss company made  "Sandwich-Whiteboards" some 2 metre high. to be used singly, in pairs or more.

Also spoke of GooglePlus network Patches and Nodes.

Best Practices

Tim described some of his experience at IFVP meeting

1)  4 expert scribes recorded the same videoclip of talk for 15 minutes

(something to do with penguins and humans)

then there was discussion and Q&A.

One did high level synthesis, a few words that summarised the whole thing

Another did a "middle" level of recording: broad principles

The third did a detailed recording.

Depending on the needs of the client and own personal style, find what works for you.

2) Tim also attended a workshop: 

How to grow your VP business;

He will share some ideas at our next meeting.

 (scheduled Friday 8th November 2013 at Tim's place)

Four Belles at the Ball

we enjoyed chitchat (fei-lo-ship = 肥咯-ship)

 over coffee, tea, and sandwiches.
