Above the line / below the line
A recent blog post on the main NOVELL Redesign blog shared that we have completed a prioritisation process based on Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis. There is a little more detail on the methodology on the main page, but we thought we would share a little more detail of some of the results with you, our co-researchers.
IMPORTANT: Please ask us before sharing these results more widely as they are not yet published or ready to be made public.
In this process, we provided a selection of stroke survivors, clinicians, architects and designers, and researchers to review some broad descriptions of 10 ‘contexts’ or ‘design briefs’ and to consider each in terms of how in need it was of innovation attention and redesign. We asked participants in this process to think about the need for innovation overall, then specifically with regard to improving efficiency, effectiveness, wellbeing and safety. You can look back at the briefing materials we provided, or continue reading to explore the rankings that were arrived at.
We start by looking at the overall ranking by each of our participant groups in Figure 1 below.
Figure 1: Rankings by stakeholder group and overall combined ranking
When we bring together the top three ranked elements from each of the stakeholder groups, we end up with a top six overall.
When we delve a little deeper into the priorities of each of the stakeholder groups against each of the different criteria (efficiency, effectiveness, wellbeing, and safety), we begin to see some trends in how each stakeholder group was prioritising their overall ranking. You can see the detail of these in Figure 2 below.
Figure 2: Breaking down rankings by stakeholder group for each of the identified priorities (efficiency, effectiveness, wellbeing, and safety)
While the number of people who completed this exercise isn’t enough to make these results statistically significant, it does give us some really great insights into how different groups might be approaching some of the different challenges. Let us know in the comments below if there is anything you would highlight in these results.
