THE WISDOM SIGNALS comes in two phases

An open theme encouraging people to

share their thoughts and ideas.

E.g., ”What changes have you seen that affect

your operational environment?”

Information from third sector organisations gathered in an easy and motivating way.

The proposed ideas are evaluated together.

In the middle of the board you’ll find the

evaluation criterium. E.g., ”Important for me as a member”
