Today Cognitive Edge is happy to present the first of a series of short videos introducing key aspects of our methods and tools, produced in collaboration with Cognia.

The first video to be released is an introduction to the conceptual underpinnings of the SenseMaker™ Suite and can be found in our new Videos section.

SenseMaker™ and its linked methods allow the collection and signifying of multiple sense-making items which can be anecdotes, pictures, web sites, blogs and other forms of unstructured data. The signification provides sophisticated metadata which can be used to provide quantitative research material, as well as measurement systems and impact analysis. Visualisation tools, linked to methods and models, permit users to sense complex patterns and anomalies that would not be visible to conventional analysis.

Recently we announced the release of SenseMaker™ Collector and Auditor v3.0.

We've also posted versions of this video to the SenseMaker™ website and YouTube.

We've been working with Mike Carroll from Cognia in Australia to produce these videos, leveraging Mike's 20+ years of experience in film and TV. Mike's been a member of the Cognitive Edge Network since July 2008. Other videos produced through this collaboration will follow over the coming weeks and will be announced here!
