In Person Training With COVID-19 in mind, we’ve converted all of our training to virtual, web-based, interactive sessions. We hope to resume our 2 ½ day training course hosted in Ithaca NY and On Site at your location Training programs in 2022.
Join CSI Lead Consultants to explore advanced GCM topics linking advanced analysis, both quantitative and qualitative.
Intended for the experienced Group Concept Mapping practitioner.
Advanced Topics:
Valuing voice, an empowering extension of community-based participation, seeks and values the important input from people who experience the effects of an issue, and who have lived knowledge of the issues. This session will demonstrate the importance of valuing voice, help you identify important considerations to valuing voice in your project, describe how the GCM approach actualizes valuing voice, and provide guidance on developing a voice-active framework.
Idea synthesis is important in a successful GCM project. CSI’s rigorous structure for conducting the process is part of CSI’s basic training. This session demonstrates another approach: how to apply the KWIC process to synthesize a set of raw brainstormed ideas to prepare a final list for sorting and rating.
Your work may require more rigorous reliability estimates to support your GCM results. In this session, you will work to organize and compute the set of common sorting and rating reliability estimates in GCM.
You can increase the utility of your results by demonstrating cluster ratings comparisons that illustrates complex relationships across groups. This session will illustrate t-tests in groupwisdom™, and guide you in constructing and running the t-test function to compare cluster means of two independent groups.
