RandolphI recommend this webinar to those working on projects concerned with social innovation. It has been produced by the Emergence by Design (MD) project, which is funded by the EC 7th Framework Programme. The project aims at supporting promoters for social change by developing a community around new theory, practices and tools.
The vision of Emergence by Design is to develop an international community around new theory, practices and tools able to construct a socially sustainable future. This international community, founded on existing social innovation groups, will collectively develop these new practices and tools on the basis of a shared theoretical understanding of how to drive and support social change.
One of the output of the project is to create a set of ICT tools tailored to the so-called Dynamic Evaluation, a system for mapping, monitoring and assessing events that provides “real time feedbacks” to innovation projects’ initiators and designers, as well as to all people and...I recommend this webinar to those working on projects concerned with social innovation.

One of the output of the project is to create a set of ICT tools tailored to the so-called Dynamic Evaluation, a system for mapping, monitoring and assessing events that provides “real time feedbacks” to innovation projects’ initiators and designers, as well as to all people and organizations that will be, directly and indirectly, affected by an innovation project about the transformations and changes that are occurring in the agents-artifacts space addressed by it.
The tools constructed within the scope of the MD project are the following:
Storyboard – A simple tool for representing the agent/artefact space and the narrative structures shared by a community
Archive – A simple archive/database for data and documents collection, interfacing the narrative representation tool
Protocol – A protocol for selecting/constructing guiding narratives for future innovation processes, designed on the basis of MD language and tools
Expert System – An expert system providing an interpretation of data collected and stored into the archive/database, extracting narratives structure coherent with agents’ identity and artefacts’ attributions, checking the internal coherence of the represented narratives on the basis of the MD language, syntax, etc.
