Consolidating and Integrating the Dataset
Etienne Wenger-Trayner, Beverly Wenger-Trayner · Cambridge University Press eBooks · 2020
The first step in consolidating the dataset is to gather and organize the data in one place. We recommend doing this from the very beginning, at least as soon as the first value-creation story comes in. We use a matrix format for this purpose, typically, a spreadsheet, as shown in the example of Figure 17.1. We use the columns to represent the value-creation cycles. The first row is for monitored indicators under the relevant cycles. The rest of the rows are for stories, with each step of the story captured in the column under the relevant value cycle.
