Sensemapping is a hybrid method (both qualitative and quantitative) for Research, Monitoring & Evaluation.

Sensemapping is a further development of both The Sensemaker Approach and Most Significant Change approach, which are in their turn forthcoming from qualitative evaluation methodology ('Fourth generation Evaluation').

Most Significant Change added a thorough participative methodology to storytelling.

The Sensemaker approach added a hybrid structure (a quantitative survey) to reserach based on storytelling.

Sensemapping is now adding mapping of the group of stakeholders to be researched as well as a thoroughly organised participative methodology and the use of video (where possible) to the Sensemaker approach.

Sensemapping is developed by René Roemsrma and Bob van der Winden (BWsupport) based on a thorough methodological background (Bob holds an MPA - Masters of Public Administration, specialisation Evaluation) and many years of practice in research, monitoring and evaluation (together we undertook research, monitoring and evaluation projects since the year 2000).
