Processing Qualitative Research Data With Tinderbox

I was fortunate to be asked to present my method at a Tinderbox Weekend last November by Tinderbox auteur Mark Bernstein. It's a complicated process at the start, but once it's set up correctly you can zip through qualitative research data pretty quickly and develop structure in the process.

Mind mapping vs. Venn diagrams

However, this process is limited because it only allows you to operate within the realm of the original general topic. But what if you wanted to do mind mapping where you are trying to establish the intersecting areas of multiple general topics (something similar to what a Venn diagram does)? Mind mapping software don’t seem to be equipped for that. Are there any tools that can do that? It would be nice to have a different type of visualisation. Posted by CRCMay 22, 2012 at 04:24 PM.
