1990s
Through the 1990s and 2000s, structured visual thinking found its first great clients.
2001
Group Partners is formed. The first sessions run on big pads of paper, and the clients start to call back.
“I have used John and his team for 3 Government turnaround challenges. Their approach worked every time and gave us the tools to create significant change. We fundamentally transformed three agencies. The one caveat is that your fellow leaders/seniors must have the courage to push for the delivery outcome!”
Mark Grimshaw, Chief Executive
Rural Payments Agency, Child Support Agency and Jobcentre Plus
2006
Electrostatic paper goes up on the wall for the first time, for the state of Oklahoma, and a session can now hold a whole system.

From Fox Studios in Los Angeles to American Express in New York, and then, in 2020, sessions held entirely online.

Hospital systems and car dealers across the United States, streaming in California and development work in Dhaka.
