Data Transmogrification

After 7 meetings with Rudy, Chris, Eric and I have split off to prepare a document of some kind that provides Rudy with some possible creative trajectories he can take in order to enhance Junior Ambassadors. The three of us met first to come up with as many possible ideas as we could think of. We used the Consensus Workshop technique where you brainstorm individually on small pieces of paper, post those ideas on the wall in groups, and begin organizing the groups. Our process looked like this:


We used orange sticky notes to indicate general categories for our suggestions, and pink to indicate ideas we see as possible "paradigm shifts" as in ideas that would require a change in thinking from Rudy.

After arranging the ideas into groupings, we spent time discussing what to do with the information. As Rudy provided us with two maps showing his desires in relation the food cart, we discussed the possibility of creating a map of our own in which to present our ideas back to Rudy. We discussed ways in which to make this map interactive and three dimensional, in order to mimic the ways in which Rudy can choose to take a birds-eye view, man-on-the-street view or any view in between towards his situation. We are working beyond this point to develop and create the map.
