SenseMaker® - A Pioneering Software For Narrative Research

SenseMaker® is a pioneering method for gathering qualitative and quantitative data about people’s observations and experiences. What’s remarkable is that participants analyse their own responses. This way, we obtain authentic human analyses of real experiences instead of external interpretations. Results are presented using simple graphics that make it easy to identify patterns and themes. This perspective can reveal insights we might have ordinarily missed or perhaps not even looked for. The result? We can understand what’s really happening and determine the next steps or actions.
