How to use campaigns during ACSI camp
To collect others’ opinions, launch a campaign that combines individual contents as an easy-to-navigate content collection page
Here are some suggestions how you can use campaigns during ACSI camp days
- Campaign 1: Today’s challenges relating to your case.
- What problems, needs and situations you and your group members can identify relating to your case which are stopping you achieving our case goals
- These challenges are good starting point to form a common understanding among your group.
- You can also ask group member to rate these challenges and then select the most important challenges to further development
Campaign 2: Visions of the future relating to your case.
- Vision can be a future scenario, trend or anti-trend, which is expected to be realized. It can also be seed of change or a weak signal from the future which might become reality. Vision should look at least 5 years a head.
- Collecting vision helps your case to understand the forthcoming market and develop your offering to match these scenarios
Campaign 3: Reference group opinion
- During the camp days, you should not limit your recourses to your own group members.
- Encourage your group members to activate their reference groups in Finland and other countries.
- Since Massidea.org is able to translate content to 52 languages reference groups can write contents in their own language.
Example campaigns for Kotka Culture Harbour – City of Kotka
Campaign 1: Today’s challenges in Kotka and Kotka Culture Harbour
- Aim is to understand what challenges Kotka’s and Kotka Culture Harbour’s are facing while developing and implementing their goals in practice. A good idea might be to identify similar cities or cases globally
- Once these challenges have been identified group members can rate which ones are the most critical. Users can also suggest their own solutions to these challenges
Campaign 2: Visions of the future in Kotka and Kotka Culture Harbour
- Aim is to understand what kind of future scenarios, trends, anti-trends, seed of change or a weak signal from the future might become reality which are affecting to Kotka and Kotka Culture Harbour development and implementation plans
- Once these visions have been identified group members can rate which ones are the most critical. Users can also suggest their own solutions to these visions
Campaign 3: Kotka’s citizens opinion
- Launch a campaign to collect opinions of the Kotka town’s citizens.
- You can collect challenges, ideas and visions
Campaign 4: Russians opinion about Kotka and Kotka Culture Harbour
- Launch a campaign to collect opinions of the Russian tourists
- A good idea is to have a Russian facilitator e.g. in St. Petersburg or in Vyborg which will combine and document these opinions to Massidea.org
Campaign 5: Iteration with reference groups
- You can also user campaigns as an interactive tool with your groups reference groups
- Once your group creates new insights, you can test them with your reference group by posting your new insight to one campaign and ask your reference group e.g. to identify challenges related to these insights or ask them to improve your groups thoughts. Do as many rounds as you wanT
