Jennifer,
It's a good question - I know that because it made me think ;-)
Here are the advantages I see:
1. It lets people see MUCH more of the picture in one go, which I think is sometimes important. If we all had wall-sized monitors with infinite resolution, this would make less of a difference, but we don't.
2. I think there's a different level of brain activity that can get unleashed when people have the immediacy of working with a physical picture, even if they have to use Post-It notes to make changes (which is probably not a bad way).
3. The intention of the physical space is that it become the context for Open Space workshops, collaboration cafes, etc. In other words, there's a lot more to it than just the static display.
The other thing to say is that, in my mind, there's a very powerful synergy between the physical wall (and its maps) and technological representations of the content on the physical wall, which can be manipulated via tools such as MindManager, Google Maps, etc.
My long-term goal is that both will exist, and cross-fertilise one another.
All the best,
Patrick
