One of the new network options that is emerging for us -- is the opportunity to send out a "survey" or questionnaire to a large audience. This idea is similar in many ways to the ways we have been thinking about this "Portal" -- but could be developed independently, and simply sent to members of some group by anybody in the group.
As I consider what is really emerging here -- one of the things that is clear to me is -- this project is "Too Much" for any one person. It's got to emerge through a co-creative collaborative process -- maybe involving a number of people in this Global Resonance Network -- or maybe involving other groups or networks. Maybe some bigger organizations out there would make good candidates for some of these things we can do.
For right now -- I want to show you something that is just starting to happen.
A week or so ago, I put together the basics of a "Create a Questionnaire" system -- that is available to any member of a group (like GRN).
It's a pretty neat system -- because it is very free-form. You can put any number of questions into it, of a wide range of types, and the multiple choice options can include as many choices as you want.
As we think about starting up some of these new possibilities -- it seems to me that sending out a "survey" might be a good way to get started. We could send out a little newsletter to everybody in GRN (we actually have more than 600 members), telling them about this, and then the next day or so, send them a survey.
When our Portal system is working, we could then begin to explore how to reach out to our own network, inviting participation from people that does not involve a lot of time, that does not load them up with emails, and is something they can do in a few minutes without much work.
Here is a sample questionnaire that I have put together.
I am showing you this for two reason...
-
It works -- go click it, fill it out! 
-
It probably needs more questions, and better language. What do you suggest?
If you are signed in, I think you can just click this link to complete this survey...

Oh -- and I added another question at the bottom. What do you suggest? What should we include....??? |
