Introducing SenseMaker®

This video presents the conceptual underpinnings of the SenseMaker® Suite. The software and linked methods allow the collection and signifying of multiple sense-making fragments which can be anecdotes, pictures, web sites, blogs and other forms of unstructured data. The signification provides sophisticated metadata which can be used to provide quantitative research material, as well as measurement systems and impact analysis. Visualisation tools, linked to methods and models, permit users to sense complex patterns and anomalies that would not be visible to conventional analysis.
SenseMaker® is fully integrated with a coherent body of formal methods and is the outcome of several years of research into human-based organizational complexity, sensemaking, and decision making. Recently Cognitive Edge announced the release of SenseMaker® Collector 3.1 along with an iOS app. Details of Dave's workshops can be found here cognitive-edge....

This approach holds great promise for the "measuring results" movement in Australia by looking at data collection, analysis and use in entirely new ways. Keen to learn more.

Nice Video That You Share , So Very Nice Thanks You Visualisation tools, linked to methods and models, permit users to sense complex patterns and anomalies that would not be visible to conventional analysis.

I independently came up with a concept much like the fitness landscape thing (3D data visualization with peaks and valleys) and was calling it a nooscape. The idea was you capture design constraints from real-world user experiences and plot them as a fitness landscape, fleshing out some of the problem space in 3D so you can spot opportunities and threats for a design solution. In fact many of the notions SenseMaker zeros in on I was muddling toward myself. A shameful testament to how awful the Web still is at discovery. Complex - integrated = complicated.

I like it. I'd suggest that you add your company URL into your description so people don't have to hunt for your website. Save them a few clicks.

You're welcome

Interesting approach!

I've heard a bit about sensemaker - but one question - how does an answer measured on the triad turn into a three dimensional view with peaks and valleys?

[@JimBDownie]

Excellent video - could this research approach really come into it's own with the growth of social computing tools such as micro-blogging (twitter fragments), Facebook etc?

No sound?

That music in right side only is really irritating
