David Sibbet recently graphically facilitated a meeting between Vivek Kundra, the first CIO of the United States appointed by President Obama, and a collection of Silicon Valley venture capitalists and technology innovators, including Mint.com, Mozilla, and Facebook, at IDEO Labs to discuss how government can improve how it is delivering services to the American people.

Doug Solomen, an old colleague of David’s from Apple, now works at IDEO and invited David to participate. Vivek subsequently wrote about the visit and posted this graphic on the White House Blog in the technology area. Link to the official article is here.

BD Teams Aim for High Performance

When BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) needed an online team tools resource to support its project teams, it turned to The Grove’s Team Performance System as a must-have. In 2009, The Grove began exploring the creation of an online environment offering a set of practices and materials from its Team Leader Guide. Aimed at equipping leaders with the knowledge and practices needed to lead teams to high performance, the Team Leader Guide offered the perfect jumping off point.

The Grove Helps Environmental Leaders “Turn The Tide”

The Grove collaborated closely with the Institute at the Golden Gate over the past year to support its program entitled, “Turning the Tide.” In its premiere session in April, scientists, CEOs, philanthropists, youth activists, venture capitalists, nonprofit leaders and social entrepreneurs gathered near the Golden Gate Bridge to “turn the tide in changing the course for our earth.” The Grove facilitated and participated in the thought-leader team that designed the conference, then graphically recorded the sessions during the conference.
