Data and Methods
Relating to your types of data, why did you chose these? What gaps in available data were these addressing?
Collective intelligence leverages the knowledge and insights of a diverse group of individuals. By involving a broad range of stakeholders, you tap into varied perspectives, experiences, and expertise, enriching the data collection process. Same for the design thinking that emphasizes understanding the problem from the user's perspective. This approach helps in framing the data collection process around the specific needs and challenges faced by the end-users, ensuring that the collected data is more relevant and actionable.
Why was it necessary to apply the above innovation method on your frontier challenge? How did these help you to unpack the system?
Co-creation and collective intelligence foster innovation and creativity. When dealing with frontier challenges, which often lack established solutions, these approaches encourage thinking outside traditional boundaries and exploring novel ideas for system interventions.
