esNarratives
Narratives are the natural way we autonomous agents talk about out life, making a living. If narratives are not the stuff of science yet is
about our ever-changing livings, then science, not story, must change. ….
Inversion In today’s society, research, knowledge
productivity and management are no longer about what you want to know from people, but
what people want you to know
Value Narratives contain insights, values, ideas,
warnings, perspectives that are hardly accessible for organizations and society
Untapped value Narratives are omnipresent in
organisations, f.e. in open text fields of surveys.
In this presentation we will show how to put this often untapped resource to use for assessing and improving the
soft qualities of organizations and get a grip on the inherent uncertainty of
social (services) systems
Really? Can we do that?

Often lots of effort have been put in developing balanced and reliable surveys
Survey inversion reuses these efforts (and some existing narratives)

are Sharing & evaluation of meaning
Children/parents are elicited (quided asking) to share a specific story from all their experiences
and answer some questions about them
In your experience staff acted?Straight from the heart
Only using their brain Just their hands

Challenge Assess customer experiences on
control, freedom and hospitality for Dutch Rail
Status (Insight —> Insight, Impact) Sending out over 50.000 tweets to
260.000 @ns-online followers harvested some 800 stories and
associated data
Results Lots

Please note PNI tends to
augment positive and negative experiences
So its not representative nor
validated in the classical sense
It’s ideal for early warning- and
improvements, but it ain’t the perfect
solution for everything

More insights Cluster 1 shows
that being valued relates strongly to
staff
Cluster 2 shows control relates to
delays and “other”
Cluster 3 connects “atmosphere” to
freedom
Cluster 4 is suggests not being
valued relates to delays and
crowdedness

Observing patterns in the data, combining multiple data items and subsequently digging deeper into the stories and vice verse to develop competing hypothesis of what might
be going on is at the heart of catalysis
Once that is done, its the customers jobs to make sense, draw conclusions, design a set of interdependent
experiments, carry them out.
Meanwhile the “whole” process continues (and practice evolves) so that impact due to the experiments and/or
autonomous developments might co-occur and mingle.
