You’re running a workshop or seminar, or participating in one. It’s great, you’re with a really stimulating group of people. Lots of discussion. One of the tools you use to express your ideas and get your points across is the good ol’ flipchart or whiteboard,
those mainstays of office meeting rooms, conferences and other events.
Your event ends. And what about all those great ideas written on the whiteboard or paper flipcharts with marker pens? Someone might try and transcribe them later (nightmare!) or you might tear off the flipchart sheets and take them with you and think about scanning them or something. Usually, though, they’ll sit in a corner somewhere until they’re consigned to the rubbish bin. Knowledge and ideas forgotten about.
Not necessarily.
