Visual models

Hi Maree, one of our next enhancements to the Practical Foresight guide is to create a comprehensive set of visual models of each stage of the process. We have already had some help with this but thought it would be worthwhile to show where we need help below, highlighted with question marks. We are not looking for photographs but really useful, energetic and informing conceptual drawings. Can anyone help? If so, the best way is to visit the guide, read the scripts and offer a matching concept at http://www.shapingtomorrow.com/content.cfm?webtext=11

Great idea! I work with several models that could be uploaded as PowerPoint slides or jpgs but I don't see that capability. How does one contribute? Do you find this valuable?

Hi, thanks for the willingness to help. You can't upload them direct but you can send them to me at mike.jackson@shapingtomorrow.com. We are about to send the set we have amassed to the designers so if you could send by return they will meet the upcoming deadline of this Wednesday.
Best wishes

Mike,

What format is best? Do you just want the graphic or the whole paper? Do you find this valuable?

"Mike,

Graphic is best unless you think we need the paperto interpret the image. However, we hope that all our eventual images will standalone without text.
Looking forward to receiving them.
Best wishes
