Square Wheels

Guiding Thought

Illustrations can create metaphors to generate brainstorming and discussions of people's perceptions.

Purpose of the Session

Square Wheels is an illustration that shows graphically how a wagon with "Square Wheels," can go thump, thump, thump, even while carrying a cargo of round wheels. It is a metaphor that generates "ah ha's" about issues of change management and helps reduce resistance to new ideas. This workshop uses a series of illustrations that leads supervisors and employees to look at how their departments and companies are being operated.
