As the group goes into a discussion, the scribe may start to draw four boxes with arrows showing the different items and how they are related. The participants can then confirm or redraw the relationships in order to come to an agreement. When using the drawing technique, first draw all of the components of the discussion, then start to show how they relate. Before you know it you will have a model that the group fully supports. These models often become key deliverables from the session.
Most individuals only see from one primary perspective, namely, their own.
Even the best facilitator in the world can be sidetracked or taken off track. The role of the scribe and the facilitator is to constantly be checking in with each other, confirming thoughts, and adjusting the process. The insights of the two allow for a more complete picture and therefore a greater opportunity to make changes that are needed and that will support the successful accomplishment of the group's objectives.
