Designing & Leading Change Capabilities
In Visual Consulting: Designing & Leading Change, David Sibbet and I define visual consulting as the integration of the fields of dialogic practice, visual facilitation, and change consulting. These fields of practice are integrated by an orientation toward process thinking and process leadership. They are activated by a set of capabilities related to the use-of-self as an instrument of change.

- Creating safe spaces
- Listening deeply

Visual Facilitation

- Sketch-talking
- Graphic process design
- Conceptual modeling
- Versioning
Change Work

- Understanding levels of intervention
- Creating collaboration backbone
- Working with uncertainty
- Managing iterative processes
Use of Self as Instrument
- Knowing your own beliefs about change
- Tracking your own attention
- Being aware of context
- Knowing personal triggers
- Social contracting
Process Orientation
- Understanding the Four Flows of process
- Pacing the momentum of change
- Imagining and tracking how process unfolds over time
- Appreciating how interventions unfold at different levels of process
