Graphic Guides®

Visual templates for groups

Each of The Grove's Graphic Guides is designed to lead a group through a specific process to achieve tangible results. Working on these templates allows a group to:

• Focus attention and stimulate participation.
• See in one place the complexity of the group's situation and identify options for action.
• Quickly achieve consensus on important issues by creating a venue where everyone contributes and can see that they have been heard.
• Visually display group creativity and knowledge to quickly gain alignment.
• Enhance group memory by making memories visible.

We offer the following Graphic Guides in several sizes and formats—poster, table-top, individual and custom, as well as Microsoft PowerPoint versions found in our Digital Graphic Guides. Click below to see examples and order.
