Organizational Development and Facilitation Products
Designed to Improve Organizational and Personal Performance:
Most of these products are designed around our
Square Wheels® series of illustrations that are used interactively to
give participants a chance to "step back from the wagon" and gain important perspective based on reactions and ideas
stemming from the cartoons and from their colleagues.
These facilitation products were developed with the belief that "Nobody ever washes a rental car." People are more open to
learning, thinking, remembering and acting / implementing if they are involved in the process.
All products are downloadable at time of purchase and are designed to:
- Easily engage individuals and groups
- Create an interactive, participative approach
- Help people gain better perspective
- Add humor to capture interest
- Work in all types of organizational cultures
- Be simple and straightforward in use
- Generate desired outcomes
Square Wheels® were created by Scott Simmerman, Ph.D., and have been used and appreciated worldwide by thousands
of presenters, facilitators and participants since 1993.
All include ideas and suggestions for facilitating, illustrations and worksheets. Understanding the basic concept for
using the illustrations is simple and straightforward and you'll be able to use them in many ways to produce your
desired outcomes.
Individual Square Wheels® Illustrations
Sometimes, people who have purchased our Square Wheels PowerPoint Programs have thought of additional ideas or wanted to
make a unique point that they would appreciate having a cartoon to represent. Since there are over 350 illustrations in
the Square Wheels series, we're happy to make people aware of these and make them available for purchase. Three
Individual Illustration Toolkits are now available. Please contact us if you want to find out more

Square Wheels® Facilitation Toolkit
As a facilitator, your goal is to engage thinking and creativity and, with this toolkit, you'll use the clout
of the Square Wheels® One illustration and a Facilitation Guide to assist you in the process of addressing
organizational development issues.
The Square Wheels® Facilitation Toolkit is based on the Square Wheels One illustration that has proven itself
to be a powerful tool that sets up an interactive, participative approach promoting learning and perspective
with unlimited applications. It pushes people to "step back from the wagon" and disclose their views about how
things are working, engage each other in a creative discovery process and use the diversity of ideas and
perspective to generate thinking, innovation and communications.
Things that need to be fixed become Square Wheels and the Round Wheel ideas can be readily created. Gaps that
are opened become motivational pressures for change and improvement. The language of Square Wheels is one
of "*continuous continuous improvement..." (* from The Department of Redundancy Department)

- Facilitation Tips and Ideas for using the Square Wheels® tool
- More than 50 powerpoint slides to help you facilitate a discussion about issues and
opportunities in your organization (customizable)

Square Wheels®-Coaching Improved Performance Toolkit
This package, designed as a performance support to managers or trainers, uses the "projective nature" of
our Square Wheels® images to generate arms-length perspective on performance.
The Square Wheels® of Coaching Improved Performance Toolkit anchors to the ability of the Square
Wheels® cartoons to function as a projection tool, much like an inkblot or Rorschach Test in that
people project their beliefs onto the images. Through this mechanism, one can easily elicit client ideas,
on an individual and group basis, and then generate powerful discussions focused less on the emotional
aspects of coaching and more on the desired future state that can result.
This focus on the desired future state is a powerful tool that produces positive thinking and centers
on dealing with the discomfort of making changes in light of future rewards.

This package, designed as a performance support to managers or trainers, uses the "projective nature"
of our images to generate arms-length perspective on performance. The toolkit includes a variety of tools
for assisting individuals and groups in any improvement process. It will help you better plan a discussion
and give you a solid framework for coaching and gaining the other person's active participation and
involvement.
Included are:
- Our powerful Square Wheels® illustrations
- A complete PowerPoint presentation
- Supportive Acrobat documents for coaching steps and background
Designed as a communications improvement toolkit to be used alone or in conjunction with other coaching tools.
