What is Sensemaking?

Scale Qualitative and Quantitative Research of Complex Human Systems

Are you curious about what is really going on in your organization, institution, your customers, in your communities, or in a marketplace?

Spryng makes it uniquely possible to gather, collate, process, and analyze rich human data in ways that unearth what really matters, making sense of people’s lived reality in their current situations.

Surveys can be useful, but they typically discard important contexts, which can confound results. Spryng, on the other hand, makes room for context and meaning, allowing the information that matters to emerge from the experiential data. So, when you combine stories with meaning, in the right context – you arrive at a nuanced, context-sensitive approach to learning, change, and leadership.

Lots of time and resources are wasted on solving the wrong problems. Through Spryng, you can ensure that you better understand the situation and the landscape of potential actions. This understanding helps you get to the roots of issues as sophisticated and nuanced as you need and prioritize the things that really matter. This is worth its weight in gold in terms of efficiency and resource deployment.

Looking at real lived experiences keeps us grounded when thinking about the future, and it allows us to think about how grand shifts and changes in society in the future — how they will play out on the ground, in real lived experiences.

This powerful tool captures stories and reflections of individuals and aggregates them into patterns for the whole. The simple visualization and analysis techniques allow sense-makers to zoom in to see local situations and zoom out to get a sense of the whole. We work with patterns across the whole range of human systems, and Spryng is the best platform we’ve found to make meaning and find shared understanding for indivduals and groups of all kinds.

FAQ

What is Spryng.io?

Spryng is built on the insight that we, as human beings, make sense of our lives and contexts through stories—we experience patterns and interpret them with ‘stories’. Spryng leverages this natural human sensemaking by allowing people to share and interpret their individual experiences. Spryng yields a rich set of nuanced data that combines both qualitative data of the experiences and stories and quantitative data of interpretations provided by contributors. These data are kept connected and can be explored via the uniquely powerful but intuitive capabilities of the Spryng platform. Using Spryng’s data analysis tools, the two kinds of data can be cross-referenced and correlated, revealing patterns of meaning within the system being studied. Insight into these patterns provide levers of opportunity for shifting the system towards desired outcomes. Spryng includes tools and methods for building and facilitating stakeholder conversations involved in the creation, deployment, and analysis of an Active Sensemaking project, along with practical advice and good practice ideas.

What does Spryng provide to an organization?

Spryng makes it possible for organizations to understand people in ways that have not previously been possible. By making sense of the untapped wisdom from stories and narratives, the platform helps decision-makers to focus on the right problems and make smarter, more effective decisions. This is only possible by using a tool that can handle the unique complexity and non-linear thinking that humans are known for. Spryng gives organizations the capability to codify those learnings and craft the actions that will cause positive ripple effects across the rest of the organization. Just as a telescope or microscope amplifies the natural human ability to see, the Spryng.io platform provides a variety of means to amplify our natural human ability to notice and respond to patterns in complex human systems. More importantly, it makes it possible to discern patterns of human systems at scale, including the ability to monitor how patterns shift and respond to adaptive actions that are intended to effect desirable outcomes.
