Making Sense Toolkit (Fab Lab Barcelona, WAAG Society, NL Dundee University, UK EC Joint Research Center, BE PEN Educational Network, KS)
Tool
Scope
Questionnaires
Helpful to go through a period of reflection to identify what worked well, and what could be improved.
Pilot appraisal
To sense-check the collaborative efforts of both participants and organisers.
Graduation ceremony
Can go a long way to creating attachment between participants, the organisation and the cause.
Storylines
To raise awareness of the project and its aims, as well as being helpful in recruiting future collaborators.
Training the next
generation
Keep the legacy of the project alive, meaning it could potentially be scaled up in the future.
Product-Service Systems Toolkit (PSS Toolkit) (• Brussels Environment, Ecores, Groupe One, Strategic Design Scenarios and Egerie Research)
Tool
Scope
Creative Debugging
A creative feasibility study of the concept whereby it is possible, via a few checks, estimates and rapid calculations, to come up with some viability (ethical, social, environmental, technical, economic, marketing, etc.) options for the solution.
Micro-experimentation
A partial realisation of the solution with conditions similar to reality (mock-up products, benevolent users, remote operators simulating the functioning of a system, etc.) in order to reduce the risk in implementing a project without trying it out, albeit imperfectly.
Reactor
Consists in producing a realistic presentation of the process of operating the service and portraying one or more subjects using the solution. A Reactor can take various forms (visual, object, video, web, etc.). It makes it possible to react to and to discuss/ develop the solution much more effectively with panels of potential users/stakeholders who are able to understand the solution better and project themselves into its use.
