About
This course is for consultants and researchers who help address complex human challenges. Typically- Organizational Development consultants, Market researchers, Agile coaches, Sociologists, Anthropologists, Ethnographic researchers, and the occasional data-driven decision makers. Shared by these professionals is the need to help their clients make sense of VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) situations that need to be made sense of and meaningful action to be taken.
This becomes especially problematic at scale--when the human system in view concerns dozens to tens or even hundreds of thousands of individuals. What is needed is a methodology that respects and leverages the natural human sensemaking processes while simultaneously providing actionable data at scale. The Spryng.io platform, with its Active Sensemaking tools, provides this robust methodology.
Intended for those new to Active Sensemaking and Spryng, the course will provide the knowledge and skills required to conduct Active Sensemaking initiatives using the Spryng.io platform. Upon completing the course, users can understand how to get started with an Active Sensemaking initiative--from design to deployment to analysis. With these skills, users can make sense of messy situations with Active Sensemaking.
