Dominant Lens “And out of this emerged essentially, the area of uncertainty quantification that now is at the root in discussion of almost every science [...] to me that’s innovation. Because what happened was, some partnership that was unlikely got created. And out of it came a whole new field.” "I think the innovation would be, on creating the pro- the, the product, based on a very novel technology.” The dominant lens of innovation as expert only says that when innovation does occur in individuals, rather than organizations, it's only in the context of individuals with technical or scientific expertise. | Challenging Lens “Well, I mean I think our lives are always progressing and when new things occur, that's innovative in its own way. So, in my life as a mother and in a new relationship now after being in the same one for many years, that's innovation in its own way.” The challenging lens disagrees that only experts can innovate. It says that anyone can innovate, and usually ties this particular kind of innovation to democracy and individualism. |
The Big Picture
Dendrogram of keywords in a key informant interview
The image above shows a dendrogram of key words of interest in one of the key informant interviews. Dendrograms show how frequently words appear near each other. In this case, "improve" and "communities" typically appear very close to each other because they share a fork that appears very close to the left side of the image.
The words themselves are underlined in a different color depending on whether they are a dominant word (red), a non-dominant word (blue), or both (green). This shows that many of the dominant or non-dominant words tend to cluster with each other, while the words that are both can appear anywhere.
