🛠️Collective Intelligence Canvas

A tool to design an action plan to activate your FCH community

What is it about and why is it relevant?

The Collective Intelligence Canvas is a tool designed to encourage and facilitate the definition of an action plan with the chronology of the main phases, activities and dynamics to be taken into account to activate a community (or collective intelligence). It should be understood as a tool that suggests 10 essential elements on which to reflect, always bearing in mind that we are focusing on designing the process rather than the result and that we are doing so from a territorialised perspective.

In relation to the process of activating a FCH, this tool is particularly useful to visualise the main elements and dynamics to be taken into account when managing collaboration with multiple stakeholders. It is particularly useful for the very early stages of conception and reflection and complementary with other tools and methods that then allow to go into more detail on the different parts that make up the process and the project.

It can also be used during the project development phase to assess which elements have changed and which should be changed, in order to keep track of them and thus better systematise the knowledge and experience generated during the process.

This tool have been selected from The Civic Design Method developed by Volumes. This method, as a whole, is considered a fundamental resource to take into account when you start setting up your local model of Fab City Hub since it contains a series of reflections and tools for the practice of Civic Design: the design of processes focused on the activation of collective intelligence and the involvement of a community around a common goal.
