IdeaScape
One of the most exciting ‘xperiments’ by the X360 group has been developing the concept of IdeaScapes – a point-in-time ‘social snapshot’; collective project to draw out diverse expressions and then curate into shareable works.
Two examples are the GovCamp ‘Live’ multi-city /multi-timezone model and the Innovation Dialogues national ‘conversation relay’ model.
A social snapshot:
The New Public* Dialogue
In late 2020, along with an international circle of leading organisations with a public value focus, the X360 community will be co-convening a rolling series of discussions to capture a ‘social knowledge’ snapshot of “The New Public*Dialogue“.
Framing an IdeaScape snapshot
COLLECTIVE PERSPECTIVE
Framed as a point-in-time, drawing together diverse points-of-view. And where possible pointing towards new possibilities, a new tipping point.
COLLECTIVE EXPERIENCE
Beyond the individual, the best ‘social snapshots’ involve participatory and collectively creative activity so that shared expression shapes the project.
COLLECTIVE INSIGHTS FOR IMPACT
That activity is aggregated, curated and creatively presented for an audience for new or revitalised impact – often with the added by-product of social mobilisation.
IDEASCAPE VIEWS
The ‘Orbital’ view
Reflecting on our lives on this ‘blue dot’ in space is one of the ultimate overview exercises
The ‘Sphere’ view
A 360 degree approach – exploring an issue from a what-works-for-all-of-us perspective
The ‘Here’ view
A place-based, context sensitive and subjective perspective
The ‘Now/Next’ view
Adding the timeline dimension, essential for any narrative arc
IdeaScapes ‘on location’
Beyond facilitating dialogue sessions and hosting remote interviews, we’ve adapted the
power of sensemaking narrative as a strategic ‘idea theatre’ platform.
We invite you to join with us in hosting ‘live’ X360 IdeaScape sessions for your community
