Learn what is really happening in your organization

- Story prompts and signifiers free participants to convey meaning and context that fit their sensibilities, culture, and language.
→ Story Prompt

A friend in your same line of work expresses interest in applying for a position in your organization and wonders what it is like to work there. What one recent experience, truly uplifting OR downright depressing, would you share? In a few lines, what happened?

→ Your Story

There can be a lot of job insecurity- several people I know have been at this workplace for over 15 years and are struggling to meet their fiscal marks, as market conditions have changed and their skill sets have not been as marketable.

Stories free participants to convey meaning and context that fit their sensibilities, culture, and language. Surveys necessarily exclude contexts.

Traditional surveys ask for our opinion. Every opinion that I share is abstracted from some stories, often a range of stories. In the end, my voice disappears.

The Women’s Refugee Commission report was prepared by a group of authors who worked with a consultant who guided the Active Sensemaking study.

The Lifting Our Sights: The Transition Journey report was prepared by Dr. Robin Pharoah who also conducted the study. This document presents the findings of the ethnographic research component of the wider ‘Lifting Our Sights’ foresight programme exploring future trends and their impacts on ex-Service personnel going through their transition back into civilian life. The research involved the collection of detailed narrative accounts from thirty ex-Service personnel, alongside more quantified findings that came from a question set respondents were asked to complete alongside their narratives. The primary output of the research was an archetypal Transition Journey model. However, since the construction of this model involved detailed analysis of the stories provided, other key findings were also identified.

The Review of Inclusive and Special Education in the Yukon Report was prepared by Dr. Nikki Yee with a consultant who guided the Active Sensemaking study.

You can share just one experience, but you are encouraged to share as many as come to mind. The more experiences shared the better.

Patient Experience
Is there an “Us versus Them” culture within your healthcare system? The purpose of this project is to gain deep and nuanced insights into how people confront the everyday challenges or opportunities of delivering health care. The aggregate data will help access deep and hidden insights people learn how to constructively manage competing issues.

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.
