Our Services
Our services are designed to help individuals and organisations whether they are promoting issues associated with sustaining life or contributing to the originating data, whether they are financing solutions or donating to resolve these issues, whether they are engaging with people and groups involved with these issues, or whether they are helping with formal and informal knowledge transfer.
Driving change by turning monitoring data into management information
Many organisations contribute to the different headline graphs showing declines in the components that sustain life. Whilst highlighting trends, these graphs and the organisations frequently fail to connect this message with the people who can change these trends, or explain how to engage, or how to measure progress and calibrate success. Within the scientific community research is frequently lengthy and fails to accelerate and amplify knowledge exchange..
Connecting people by making monitoring data accessible
Many organisations hold monitoring data that is critical to sustaining life and, whether this is open data or secure data, we work with organisations to enable this data to become accessible.
We make data accessible by using the summary format of The Life Map that protects the privacy and value of data within organisations whilst promoting them as the source of further knowledge and refinement of information.
The summary format is targeted at the different zones and communities to show which part of each metric relates to the people in those zones and communities.
Making finance and donations achieve results faster and with more impact
The creation of the metric for an issue can be used to accelerate increasingly robust results and be used for all subsequent projects on that issue, in that zone, whilst connecting with other zones, and the increasing number of related metrics as they become available.
Engaging people by making monitoring data understandable
We provide information about methodologies for collecting data for the metrics and trends. We work with organisations to convert the monitoring data into management information so that individuals can collect data and calibrate their performance.
We signed formal licences with the organisations endorsing the use of the data in this format and where possible the appropriate national and international authorities also sign concurrent licences.
Helping people manage change by making monitoring data usable
The Life Map provides data within heat maps showing relative performance for the different locations and communities so people can see their starting point and what others are achieving.
We provide individual reports and accreditation for people submitting their private data that contributes to the collective reports based on aggregated activity across the different locations and levels.
Accelerating knowledge exchange
By enabling performance to be calibrated, first it is possible to highlight and promote success which for some elevates horizons to inspire improvement and for others it recognises a level of contribution, the significance of which they were unaware.
Secondly the calibrated performance enables subsequent enquiry into the features associated with those levels of success. This enables results to be shared rapidly across participants and for sites to participate in scientific processes that add validity to the previously anecdotal information.
Amplifying knowledge exchange
The use of the standard format enables performance of one metric in one of the components that sustain life to be compared with performance of other metrics and in other components so that the implications of choice can be understood whether the metrics are perceived as performance, risk, or control.
Within the formal education sector, the material can be used within different subjects to show learning examples about the issues or to use issues within knowledge building. Each lesson can then be applied using the material from The Life Map about every individual’s global community.
Within informal knowledge exchange such as gaming, the material from The Life Map can give real world context to some of the games being developed.
Our services are designed to help individuals and organisations whether they are promoting issues associated with sustaining life or contributing to the originating data, whether they are financing solutions or donating to resolve these issues, whether they are engaging with people and groups involved with these issues, or whether they are helping with formal and informal knowledge transfer.
