Two weeks ago, I conducted a participatory exhibit design workshop with staff at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History.

This is the third in a four-part series about writing The Participatory Museum. This post covers my personal process of encouraging--and harnessing--participation in the creation of The Participatory Museum. Check out the other parts here.

This week, we're covering the first objective in Charlene Li and Josh Bernoff's book Groundswell : listening (chapter 5). It’s hard to correlate online buzz to sales, but Charlene and Josh present a few cases in which positive online discussion led to upticks in sales about a month later.

So let’s create a taxonomy of Social Participation that's a simple list: CONTENT (What is being discussed/shared/shown/explored?) In Chapter 3, McCloud identifies six different methods by which comic artists transition from one panel to another (for example, scene-to-scene or action-to-action).

And I’ll be moderating our discussion as always. The kind of strategic planning processes that I lead are inclusive and participatory which means that the group is consulted, the vision of the group, the energy, we kind of tap into the energy, vision, knowledge, experience of the people who will be doing the work in order to make plans.

The post initially caught my eye because there was a quote from Jennifer Aaker and Andy Smith, co-authors of The Dragonfly Effect (I’m giving away a copy ). I posted a link on FB page and it prompted quite a discussion from nonprofit folks. And it is generated partly by social cues.

This weekend I participated in a Webinar about the book The Whuffie Factor along with author Tara Hunt where we discussed how the ideas apply to nonprofits.
