Use of Visualizations to Support Growth of Social Benefit Organizations

Using Maps to Visualize Ideas

In 35 years of leading a volunteer-based tutor/mentor program Dan Bassill has had plenty of time to think of ways leading such programs might be easier. As he began to try to communicate those ideas he found many people did not understand what he was talking about. So he begin to draw pictures and create maps to help communicate these ideas.

This presentation includes some of the maps created over the past 18 years.

Building Learning Communities

The graphics on these pages point to a

wide range of ideas and information.

This cannot be covered in a single

reading nor understood without a

context of hands-on involvement.

Thus, our goal is that learning groups,

reading circles, discussion groups, etc.

form in business, churches, colleges,

high schools and civic/social

organizations. If one person invites

others to view this information the

same way people come together on a

regular basis to read and understand

scripture, or political ideas, then the

information we point to can be ideas

millions of people grow to understand

and apply.
