Project Title:
R3ASON: The powerspace for decision makers
From January to Dec 2024.
Project Overview:
The R3ASON tool is a powerful framework that transforms qualitative and quantitative research insights into actionable knowledge for decision-making. By integrating AI and knowledge graphs, the tool organizes and visualizes complex data into a structure that facilitates deeper analysis and innovation.
My role:
As the originator of the R3ASON project, I led our team from concept to execution. My responsibilities included:
* Research and Ideation: Conceiving the initial idea and defining the project's vision.
* Prototyping and Testing: Leading the development and testing of new processes.
* AI Integration: Overseeing the integration of AI to enhance our capabilities.
* Graph Data Science: Learning and applying graph data science to improve our methodologies.
* Business Strategy: Strategizing the business model for sustainability.
Challenges
In traditional consultancy, initial client requirements often shift due to evolving complexities, leading to potential misalignment and project inefficiency. The challenge was to create a methodology that:
* Adapts dynamically to changing requirements.
* Diagnoses root causes in complex systems.
* Engages stakeholders collaboratively while ensuring long-term sustainability.
* Diagnoses root causes in complex systems.
* Engages stakeholders collaboratively while ensuring long-term sustainability.
To address this, I spearheaded the development of the 3R Process:
1. Reasoning – Extracting Insights
Using AI, R3ASON analyzes diverse inputs such as interviews, quantitative data, and workshop outcomes to extract beliefs, themes, and actionable insights.
These insights form the foundational data for deeper exploration.
2. Relating – Building Knowledge Graphs
The extracted insights are organized into knowledge graphs, mapping relationships and systemic patterns across the data.
This dynamic visualization provides a holistic understanding of interconnected systems and reveals hidden connections.
3. Revealing – Framing the Complexity
3. Revealing – Framing the Complexity
Insights from the knowledge graph are analyzed using lenses such as the Business Model Canvas, Persona Mapping, or Journey Mapping.
Tailored lenses are developed for specific cases, ensuring the analysis is aligned with client needs.
This process reframes complex challenges into structured, actionable strategies.
R3ASON is a consultancy framework that integrates AI, knowledge graphs, and systemic design to turn complex data into actionable strategies. By structuring insights from user research, organizational dynamics, and systemic factors, it enables informed decision-making. The first diagram illustrates how R3ASON synthesizes data into key outcomes like stakeholder alignment and strategic optimization, while the second shows its evolution from raw insights to a holistic decision-making model. This process helps organizations navigate complexity, refine strategies, and drive sustainable innovation.
From toolchain to software:
To streamline the process, we initiated the development of interfaces designed to assist both designers and stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle. These interfaces facilitate clearer communication, enable more effective collaboration, and provide real-time insights into project progress. By integrating tools that support rapid prototyping, feedback collection, and system modeling, we aim to enhance efficiency, reduce errors, and ensure that all parties are aligned with the project goals. This approach not only accelerates design workflows but also improves the overall quality and effectiveness of the final solutions.
Results:
Efficiency and Clarity: Consolidated diverse data into a unified system, streamlining decision-making processes.
Tailored Solutions: Custom lenses provided precise, client-specific insights for strategic actions.
Innovation Leadership: Transformed consultancy offerings, leading to the rebranding of Iconstorm as R3ASON, a leader in systemic AI-driven design.
By integrating cutting-edge AI technologies and systemic design thinking, R3ASON empowers organizations to navigate complexity and craft sustainable solutions for the future.
