Summary
Leading change inherently involves conflict and often-difficult conversation. These conversations can be made less challenging and more valuable when images are used as a focal point and mediator. Mediated dialogue uses thought-provoking, tangible images—visual objects, to facilitate reflective, insightful conversation—and change the way we talk about change. This paper describes how pictures or photos are being used to mediate dialogue.
