What is Your Vision for VizThink?
June 25, 2009 – 10:04 am
As I’ve mentioned a few times since VizThink09 in San Jose, we’ve been taking a good hard look at VizThink and how to sustain the community over the long haul. Already some of our initial ideas have been put into action with the first couple of VizThinkU courses (”Visual Note-taking 101” & the upcoming “Drawing Out Your Ideas” with Nancy Margulies) as well as some changes to the VizThink website, which have all been well received.
The past few months though, as many of you can probably appreciate, have really been much more about helping VizThink survive than anything else in order to reposition ourselves and rethink what the future holds. As we enter the summer and things seem to have at least settled down a bit in the economy (far from fixed but things are certainly calming down) it’s time for us to turn our focus from “how do we survive?” to “how do we thrive?”
This is where you come in – VizThink is nothing without it’s community and you all play an important role in shaping how this movement will grow over the coming years – so I’d like to pose the question:
“What is your vision for VizThink?”
When you think of this community one year, 3 years 10 years down the road, what do you envision? What would continue to make VizThink a valuable community to you?
Draw it out, tweet it, blog it and even add it to the forum thread here. You can also privately email me your thoughts at community@vizthink.com. If you post it somewhere out there in the web tag it “#vizthink, #vision” and link back to this post (or email me a link to it) so we can be sure to find it!
We’re starting to frame out our plans for the next few years over the next couple of weeks and I’d love to integrate your ideas and feedback. Together I think we can continue to build on the great thing we’ve all got going here and I hope you’ll share your vision with me.
Thanks!
Ryan
