We are excited to launch our new line of QuickSense applications, built on SenseMaker®. A QuickSense is a pioneering way to gather qualitative data about people’s observations and experiences, turned into analysis by the respondents themselves!  So, you get authentic analyses of real experiences, rather than external interpretations of them.

This post continues the narrative theme that I have been working through over the last few weeks with two purposes: (i) to add to what has been a thirty-year body of work and (ii) to prepare for an easy-to-use set of tools to understand, and as significantly to change, underlying attitudes in a range of […]

One of my favourite books in the Swallows and Amazons series is Great Northern in which our heroes ultimately save the eggs of a pair of Great Northerns from a malicious egg collector.  The final scene in which TItty and Dick return the eggs to their parents is especially poignant.   Those two characters are […]

In this look at the MassSense data, we turn to age. The older participants are, the more prominent the anticipation of change in people’s values becomes. The oldest also see the possibility of building bridges between ideological and institutional change.
