🌟 There have been many upgrades and applications of #SenseMaker over the years but we also value looking back at past projects. Today we are choosing to spotlight this #internationaldevelopment work in Kenya by GlobalGiving, supported by Irene Guijt, who in 2011 collected tens of thousands of stories to understand what #community members had, needed, and would like to see in future.
🌟 The story-based monitoring method we describe here provides reasonable information about what is working and insights into the root causes of complex social problems.
🌟 Outline to focus:
Part I: How this method evolved? Or is this the right road? (Page 3)
Part II: Example of how one organization uses the stories: TYSA (Page 16-24)
Part III: Some practical approaches for ensuring a high degree of honest stories relevant to the work (Page 27)
Part IIII: Methods for a self-organizing #survey, #Storytelling SMS game (Page 41)
Part V: 2530 stories data picture (Page 58)
🌟 This easy-read document gives a rich description of the methodological choices that the team had to make around #technology, #communityengagement, and costs in a low-resource setting. SenseMaker was used to get quickly available, context-rich data about “how these Kenyan communities could be supported”. This was built on trust and partnership of sense-making activities.
🌟 The Cynefin Co is able to provide the tools, but the magic of how those tools work in practice is with you. Let’s continue to learn from each other.
