How to create a human sensor #network?
A human sensor network is a network of engaged people who are collecting and sharing observations on an ongoing basis. Rather than just capturing a snapshot in time, we are instead enabling the continuous collection of #stories and observations over long periods of time, much like a virtual journal.
It can be established within a variety of different #organisations such as #companies, #schools, #universities & colleges, #communities centres, #sports clubs, neighbourhoods, #governance, regions, countries or just about any kind of community. A human sensor network in the context of citizen engagement is termed a #citizen sensor network.
Our approach is very flexible and SenseMaker® can be applied in many different ways: 👇
Initial consultation: The #Cynefin Co talks with those leading the #engagement project to understand what they want to explore within the community, along with their needs & goals.
Design #workshop: In this step, the project leaders will decide what types of SenseMaker® capability to use such as a one-off, regular journaling for a specific time period, or long term engagement. It also includes designing the questions & dissemination strategy, and identifying the target sample.
Test your framework: Piloting the #SenseMaker framework is very important in order to check how participants respond to questions, whether they feel they are relevant to their context and story, and that they make sense to everyone, not just #academics or #policy wonks.
#Datacollection: Implement the dissemination strategy by inviting people from relevant communities to take part in a SenseMaker® framework. This may include citizen #journalists who go out into their communities and collect stories from their communities.
#Analysis: The raw SenseMaker® data is presented on our easy-to-use interactive dashboard so that themes and patterns can be readily interpreted. The Cynefin Co can provide training and support on how to use the dashboard, and we can also produce reports.
#Exapting: Once established, those who completed the SenseMaker® framework can act as a citizen sensor network which can be exapted for other purposes.
