Weizenbaum Knowledge Hypercube
The Data Awareness Canvas is a workshop tool that sensitises people to the potential and risks of automated data use in organisations. The goal of the tool is to accompany the data-based transformation of an organisation.
Background
The HyperCube was created as part of the Weizenbaum Institute's cross-sectional area "Digitalization and Sustainability". The project was based on the in-depth discussion of sustainability goals (SDGs) in the context of information and communication technologies (ICT).
One important basis for these discussions was the main report "Our Common Digital Future" by the German Advisory Council on Global Change.
The HyperCube is a framework developed by the Weizenbaum Institute for the support, visualisation and result validation of interdisciplinary workshops. The HyperCube supports a moderated discussion process, which integrates the perspectives of all participants by combining and securing their insights, questions and possible solutions (= HyperCube session).
At the center of the HyperCube is the development of a topic-focused mind map by the session participants. Their ideas and impulses are recorded in the form of core concepts and put in relation to each other, based on a process of discussing, prioritizing and documenting.
