All VIS-IT techniques process ideas using VIS-It Tools, which provide mobile, colorful, easy-to-post surfaces on which ideas are represented by words or pictures. Ideas that are presented legibly on large, custom Post-it pad surfaces should be seen clearly by all participants in the session. As such, these tools help build a self-documented “group memory”. All VIS-IT techniques involve a degree of facilitation, which are the supportive actions of someone to guide others toward achieving the purpose of the session.
