Method

An optimal combination of the qualitative and quantitative methods

Insight Forming is based on concept mapping, a participatory approach that brings together different knowledge or representations around a given theme with a group of people. It combines a probing capability, an ideation process, idea grouping and evaluation, and multidimensional exploratory analysis. The visual result is greater than the sum of the knowledge and opinions of individuals.
