Zullen we beginnen?</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Shoot</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Waar moet ik beginnen? Biodiversiteit, ik ben zo’n fan van je! Ok. Ik weet het. Heb je veel fans? </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Nou, dat kun je wel zeggen. Ik kan niet meer over straat zonder ergens mijn naam te horen. Ik verbaas me er wel eens over. Laatst stond ik zelfs op een pak melk en ook op de reclame van de bank wordt ik genoemd.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">En wat voel je daar dan bij?</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Steeds voel ik me vereerd dat ik erop sta. En niet mijn broer Natuurbescherming. Dat laatste hoeft trouwens niet gepubliceerd. Ik hou van m’n broer en ook hij heeft veel fans, hoor. Maar als ik dan weer zie hoe mijn naam gebruikt wordt, dan voel ik me ook verwarring.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Wat bedoel je?</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Nou, er wordt mij een heleboel eer toebedeeld en vaak moet ik gered worden. Ik wordt op een voetstuk gezet. Een beetje van links naar rechts gesleurd, net hoe het het beste uitkomt. Ik heb er in ieder geval geen stem in.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Daarom zitten wij hier! Wat wil je de mensen meegeven?</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Dat ik geen ding ben wat je op kan pakken en naar believen ergens neer kan zetten. </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Hoezo? Als ik in mijn tuin besluit al het groen eruit te werken en door tegels te vervangen dan heb ik jou toch de tuin uitgewerkt?</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Daar zit de verwarring. Wij zitten nu te praten maar ik ben veel veelomvattender. Ik ben al een tijdje aan het nadenken wat ik nu precies ben. Een collega vatte het mooi samen: “alles wat leeft”. </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Uhm. Hoe moet ik dat precies zien?</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Biodiversiteit is mijn roepnaam. Het is een samenvoeging van mijn twee voornamen: Biologische Diversiteit. Namen hebben betekenissen. In mijn geval is Biologie de levende dingen en Diversiteit de variatie.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Levende Variatie. Dat had dus ook je naam kunnen zijn. Dan had ik je ‘Lev’ genoemd. Welke naam zou jij graag gehad hebben?</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Nou, Lev of Leven had ik wel stoer gevonden. Want dat ben ik eigenlijk ook.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Ik snap er steeds minder van eigenlijk. Kun je dat uitleggen?</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Jazeker. Als Biodiversiteit alle levende vormen vertegenwoordigt, dan is het hetzelfde als leven. Dat komt omdat soorten afhankelijk zijn van elkaar. Ze vormen samen allerlei gemeenschappen. Een soort sportverenigingen zou je kunnen zeggen. Er zijn sporters en teams die samenwerken en er zijn ook sporters en teams die competitiewedstrijden spelen. Als je samenwerkt ben je afhankelijk van elkaar maar als je competitiewedstrijd heb ook. Als een tennisser de bal over het net slaat en er is geen tegenstander, dan komt de bal niet terug en is er geen wedstrijd. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpH7RSTNH9Knma7-eX-R5vkq0aFy6ws6cE8uIPUdEZ_G_sRfIbjX4TKGqM98ZMco9ZjuWlz5gCcjrY-aP51QVYtKLmfAUGfYBbAEiqXZ9p86UUr9HUc8D2tt3KjUNeYCrynxz9rqx7uf9dV4FaMsHOGZcB6dhxmihpo_lEyAMBY7amZYB1LKh021UlOA/s865/11E5ECBB-DE3A-46EF-B9D9-F87501E36630.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="361" data-original-width="865" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpH7RSTNH9Knma7-eX-R5vkq0aFy6ws6cE8uIPUdEZ_G_sRfIbjX4TKGqM98ZMco9ZjuWlz5gCcjrY-aP51QVYtKLmfAUGfYBbAEiqXZ9p86UUr9HUc8D2tt3KjUNeYCrynxz9rqx7uf9dV4FaMsHOGZcB6dhxmihpo_lEyAMBY7amZYB1LKh021UlOA/s16000/11E5ECBB-DE3A-46EF-B9D9-F87501E36630.png" /></a></div><p></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Dat is interessant!

Eco, is dat niet van ecologisch? Dat zie ik soms op afbreekbare verpakkingen staan. Dat is toch dat het uit de natuur en breek dan weer af in de natuur of zo? </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">[Biodiversiteit knikt]</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">En systeem. Mijn oom is systeembeheerder. Dat is iets met een computernetwerk. Uhm. Of een systeemplafond. Met van die plafonddelen die in een rooster passen. Ik denk dat ik het weet. Systeem is iets wat uit allerlei onderdelen bestaat die in elkaar passen en zo een werkende computer of mooi plafond vormen. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Heel goed! Zonder moeilijke woorden heb je bedacht wat eco en systeem is. En samen?</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Ecosysteem. Dat is dan hoe alle onderdelen in de natuur samenwerken of een wedstrijd hebben en eigenlijk samen leven.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Precies!</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Wacht! Alle onderdelen? Is dat dan echt ALLE onderdelen? Want een steen is niet levend. Die ademt niet en krijgt geen kindjes.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Ja, inderdaad alle onderdelen. Als je denkt aan bijvoorbeeld een stukje mos en die specifieke soort mos kan heel goed overleven op steen. Dan heeft het levende onderdeel, de mos, het niet levende onderdeel nodig, de steen. Niet-levende dingen zijn dus ook onderdeel van een ecosysteem. Zonder gebouw geen systeemplafond moet je maar denken.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Helder!

Wel belangrijk. Het wordt vaak opgeschreven maar het snappen is nog wat anders. Dus daar gaan we: Ik besta uit alle soorten..</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Wacht!

Dit woord noemde ik niet voor niets als eerste. Er zijn drie woorden: soorten, ecosystemen en nog een. Dan weet je dat alvast. Ok. Ja inderdaad. Duiven, muizen en vlooien horen bij de soorten. We hebben het dus over levende wezens. Die ademen en zich voortplanten. </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Inclusief mensen? </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Zeker! Mensen zijn toch ook levende wezens die gebruik maken van stenen om huizen te bouwen, water drinken en dergelijke? En wat veel mensen zich niet realiseren is dat er ecosystemen in en op hun lichaam leven. </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Nu wordt het me wat veel! </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Ja, dat snap ik.

Daar zitten ook mini levende beestjes in. Die noemen we micro-organismen in. Snap je die term? Wel handig dat streepje, dan zie je uit welke twee woorden het bestaat.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Ja, tuurlijk. Micro van microscoop. Klein! En organismen.. mmm. Nou, die vind ik nog wel lastig. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Je kent het woord orgaan wel. Je longen bijvoorbeeld. Nou, dat is een onderdeel van je lichaam en zonder longen kan je niet leven. Organisme is een levend onderdeel van dat systeem waar we het eerder over hadden. </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Ok.

Micro-organismen dus. Je kan ze zien door een MICROScoop. En het zijn er bij elkaar opgeteld heel veel. En nu even goed opletten. Want heel veel daar heb je er twee van. Heel veel soorten en heel veel individuele micro-organismen. Vergelijk het maar met het aantal teams op de sportvereniging - zeg dat dat er 12 zijn - en het aantal sporters bij elkaar opgeteld - zeg dat dat er 250 zijn. De meesten actief maar ook wel sporters die lid zijn en een blessure hebben. Maar goed. 12 teams en 250 sporters. </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Dat heb ik niet opgeschreven.

Er zijn 700 teams, soorten dus. En 10 miljard organismen. Dat is 10.000 miljoen, een 10 met daarachter 9 nullen.

Zo is het precies. Waarom kan dat? Omdat ze heel klein zijn. Micro-organismen. En in je hele lichaam zitten zo’n 100 duizend miljard micro-organismen. ** Dat is 100 met 12 nullen daarachter. En wegen samen die ene kilo. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Ik krijg jeuk!

Je hebt ze echt nodig. Ze helpen je om eten te verteren en te beschermen tegen ziektes. Net als een sportwedstrijd gaan ze regelmatig de strijd aan met andere teams en omdat ze met meerdere teams zijn en met veel teamleden winnen ze meestal.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Nice.

Het is een manier om in kaart te brengen hoe strategieën (wat wij doen) leiden tot verwachte outcomes (wat andere betrokken partijen anders doen), en hoe die dan bijdragen aan impact (verbeteringen op het niveau van begunstigden). </p><p><b>Samen de impact bepalen en de TOC opstellen</b></p><p>Een analyse van betrokken partijen en belangrijke factoren die een rol spelen bij het onderwerp biedt een basis voor het opstellen van de TOC. Een Theory of change wordt participatief ontwikkeld om zo de kennis en ideeën van betrokken partijen te bundelen en tot een gezamenlijk gedragen begrip te komen over wat we willen bereiken. Het uiteindelijke doel, de impact, wordt gezamelijk geformuleerd en bepaalt de koers.</p><p><b>Systeemdenken om tot structurele oplossingen te komen</b></p><p>Meerdere partijen werken in het opstellen van de TOC samen aan oplossingen voor bijvoorbeeld een complexe situatie, een wicked problem, danwel een strategische richting. De puzzel duurt zo lang als er nodig is om een logische structuur van oorzaak en gevolg overeen te komen en te formuleren. Er wordt vastgesteld wat we weten en wat we vermoeden. Vermoedens en aannames worden expliciet gemaakt en kunnen op een actielijst gezet worden om verder te onderzoeken (bijvoorbeeld een kennisagenda). En er is ruim aandacht voor de samenhang tussen problemen, oplossingen, actoren en resultaten. Systeemdenken dus. </p><p><b>TOC toepassingen</b></p><p>Ook kan de TOC een basis zijn voor beleid. Zie hieronder het voorbeeld van het Ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken. Een voorbeeld van een strategie is de Nationale Bijenstrategie. Bij beleidsevaluaties lijkt het opstellen van een beleidstheorie erg op de TOC methodiek. </p><p><b>Actie en monitoring</b></p><p>De TOC diagram verheldert welke mogelijke paden er zijn om een positieve verandering te bewerkstelligen. In een actieplan kan bepaald worden wat er nodig is om (geselecteerde) outcomes te bereiken. Maar ook welke aannames gecontroleerd worden. Een monitoring plan kan verhelderen hoe gemeten wordt en wie wanneer meet. SMART doelstellingen, eventueel met doelwaarden, kunnen het nog verder specificeren. Als activiteiten niet leiden tot de geplande outcome en impact dan kan de TOC diagram als zijnde een bouwtekening geraadpleegd worden. </p><div><b>Voorbeelden</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>

<span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">In 2016 I posted a blog about </span><a href="http://martenschoonman.blogspot.com/2016/03/digital-beehive-monitoring.html"><span style="font-weight: 400;">digitale beehive monitoring</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, in which I described the opportunities it could have. I've not let go of that quest since. It lead to the formation of the BEEP Foundation.</span><br />
<strong><br /></strong>
<strong>A brief history</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Developing digital tools for bees was not a one man job. I met with </span><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/pvgennip/?locale=nl_NL"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pim van Gennip</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, a designer and developer, who got interested in the concept. He helped me out with the construction of the first version of what we now call the BEEP base. We brainstormed with beekeepers in Amsterdam at </span><a href="http://beelease.nl/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Beelease</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and Utrecht at </span><a href="https://www.bijenverenigingutrecht.nl/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">BVU</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Based on these sessions decided that our first step in helping beekeepers would be to modernise beekeeping administration with digital colony hive logs, instead of the paper version that is widely used. </span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Beelease did great in conducting a small scale crowdfunding campaign to fund the first version of the BEEP app, a responsive website or webapp. We focussed on creating a so-called minimal viable product to check its feasibility among beekeepers. It was the first step on our BEEP journey and serious numbers of beekeepers signed up. In this stage, Bente Deenekamp contributed her talent and designed our logo. As we moved on, we discovered BEEP's way of working, which we like to describe as forward looking, iterative and solution-minded.</span><br />

<strong><br /></strong>
<strong>2017</strong><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The year in which Pim and I registered the BEEP Foundation. Why a mission driven and not a for-profit organization? There is a lot to discover and develop regarding honeybee health monitoring. We do not want to and cannot do that all by ourselves. We believe that an open source approach fosters collaboration and knowledge exchange. I did not base that on loose thoughts, but on the experience I gained working for the social enterprise </span><a href="https://akvo.org/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Akvo</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Foundation. Looking back, we're very pleased with the network, progress and funding opportunities this approach brought our initiative.</span><br />
<strong><br /></strong>
<strong>Science</strong><br />
<strong><br /></strong>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Bees, honeybees and wild bees, are a popular researched subject. It makes sense; our food and even our lives depend on their pollination service. Beekeepers are still figuring out how to best manage the health of honeybees. However, beekeepers are also considered to be a major threat for honeybees. This means beekeeping practices need to improve! We aim to support those necessary improvements with our work at BEEP. For us, it made sense to link the tech work to science. We invited prof. dr. Koos Biesmeijer to our initiative, and he enthusiastically accepted.</span><br />
<strong><br /></strong>
<strong>Data structure</strong><br />
<strong><br /></strong>
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">To bridge the gap between the practice of beekeeping and bee research we decided to build a data structure. This hierarchical tree structure with data categories standardises and classifies the terminology of both practice and science and the logical relationships among the terms. Researchers and beekeepers can select their preferred terminology based on their needs throughout the beekeeping season. The data structure was implemented with support from the SIDN fund, among others, in version 2 of the BEEP webapp in 2018. The construction of the data structure was a puzzle that took several months of consulting heaps of sources. It is now one of the inputs for an international group of likeminded bee researchers called BeeXML with a working group under the umbrella of Apimondia, the international federation of beekeepers' associations. See a thumbnail of the current version of the </span><a href="http://www.beep.nl/storage/Beep-data-categorization-complete%20%281%29.pdf"><span style="font-weight: 400;">BEEP data structure</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> below.</span></span><br />

<strong>Sensors</strong><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">My search for the possibilities of using sensors in my work with bee colonies bring me back to 2016. What I found ranged from NASA investigating colony losses with sensors, commercial products (which I considered expensive) and do-it-yourself (DIY) projects. I did not find a solution which fitted me and settled for trying the DIY approach. I got stuck on getting the electronics to work. This lead to meeting Pim and his company </span><a href="https://iconize.nl/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Iconize</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Toghether we made version 1 of the BEEP measurement system. It is a makeshift wooden scale with a </span><a href="https://sodaq.com/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sodaq</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Arduino autonomo with GSM connection. It was a good start but not quite the user-friendly, robust, affordable and flexible product we aimed to develop. Over 2017 and 2018 we met with others working in this area, did research ourselves and in collaboration with schools and universities, sourced funding, built and tested. </span><a href="https://nl.linkedin.com/in/speterse"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Stephan Peterse</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> did great work on building hives (version 2 was a lot of work including soldering) and bringing the technical designs to the next level with lots of positive criticism. </span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/base/measurement-system-new/technical-specifications"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> you find a review of this development and what we changed to get from version 2 to version 3. </span><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">I would like to use this blog to again thank </span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5748244111812345560#sponsors"><span style="font-weight: 400;">our sponsors</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and partner </span><a href="https://beezzzz.nl/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Imkerij Beezzzz</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> for organising financial support for the system development and crowdfunding campaign in 2019.</span></span></span><br />

<strong>Moving ahead</strong><br />
<span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The initiators of the citizen science project, </span><a href="https://hiverize.org/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bee Observer Bremen</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, asked if they could use the BEEP app. They wanted to connect to the Hiveeyes open source sensor systems, one of our partners, in a project with 200 beekeepers. This was the first collaboration with scientists. At the end of 2017 we were asked by </span><a href="https://www.wur.nl/en/Research-Results/Research-Institutes/plant-research/Biointeractions-Plant-Health/Bees-1.htm"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bees@WUR</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> to join a consortium. The consortium was formed to respond to a call for funding to help making beekeeping healthy and sustainable. Our proposal was accepted and the </span><a href="https://b-good-project.eu/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">B-Good project</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> started in June 2019. The project is lead by prof. dr. Dirk de Graaf of the Ghent University. BEEP has contracted a team of experts and works with a community of over 100 beekeepers and technicians to build upon and extend the foundation of the BEEP app and BEEP base. Both will be tested, evaluated and further enhanced in three large iterations. Our sub-goals are to develop a bee health data portal and contribute to make the </span><a href="https://www.efsa.europa.eu/en/efsajournal/pub/4578"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Healthy-B toolbox</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> practical to use. The EU funded project will run until mid 2023.</span><br />

<br />
<b>Wat is honing?</b><br />
Honing is een vloeibare substantie die ontstaat als honingbijen, Apis mellifera, nectar uit bloemen verzamelen en deze vervolgens omzetten. De nectar wordt zowel door chemische processen (toevoegen van enzymen) als door natuurkundige processen (indikking door verdamping) omgezet naar honing. De vloeistof wordt suikerrijker, voedzamer en is langer houdbaar [1]. Er is ca. drie kg nectar nodig om één kg honing te maken. Één bij verzameld in haar leven ongeveer één twaalfde deel van een theelepel met honing. De honing van de imker, en dus ook van Bijenstal Breukelen, wordt koud geslingerd en slechts door een zeef gehaald. Verder is er geen behandeling. Een puur, rauw natuurproduct.<br />
<br />
<b>Wat zit er allemaal in honing?</b><br />
Samenstelling van honing: gemiddeld bevat honing 38% fructose, 31% glucose, 10% andere suikers, waaronder maltose en sacharose, en 17% water. Hiernaast bevat honing nog 4% begeleidende waardevolle stoffen zoals enzymen, vitaminen, zuren, hormonen, bacterieremmers, waterstofperoxide, stuifmeelkorrels en mineralen zoals fosfor, mangaan, ijzer en koper [2]. Er zijn verschillende soorten honing. Lindehoning bestaat bijvoorbeeld voornamelijk uit nectar die van lindebloesem afkomstig is. Het heeft een typische mintsmaak. Boshoning is vaak donkerder, dit komt door relatief veel mineralen.<br />
<br />
<b>Wat als de honing hard wordt?</b><br />
Dit komt door kristallisatie van suikers. Dit is een natuurlijk proces wat vooral voorkomt als er relatief veel glucose in de honing zit. Als je de honing volledig laat kristalliseren, dan is deze op een gegeven moment nauwelijks meer smeerbaar. Door de honing au bain-marie of in de oven te verwarmen, kan je hem weer vloeibaar maken. Niet warmer laten worden dan ca 38 graden Celsius want dan gaan er waardevolle eiwitten kapot. Dit gebeurt dus ook al je honing in je thee doet. Als je onderin het potje troebelheid ziet ontstaan, dan is het kristallisatieproces gestart. Als je dan een week lang elke dag even flink roert, dan krijg je crème honing!<br />
<br />
<b>Wat verzamelen bijen nog meer?</b><br />
Bijen stammen af van wespen. Voor wespen is vlees een belangrijke eiwitbron. Bijen zijn echter vegetarisch. Voor hen is stuifmeel de eiwitbron. Naast nectar en stuifmeel verzamelen ze ook hars en water. Hars wordt omgezet in een plakkerig goedje wat propolis heet. Ze gebruiken het bijvoorbeeld om gaten te dichten. Water hebben ze nodig om bijvoorbeeld te verdampen als het warm weer is. Zo kan het bijenvolk ‘zweten’ om de bijenkast af te koelen. <br />
<br />
Waar komt de honing vandaan?<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.5pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><img height="294" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/9iMUt-wpt0yWBgH_2HBq_ROSdzv563odxkXZLrNwJRQ5jJoi18oDbCoVx3QlJmH0V5_h6t0rb2UlzCzIluFe1mU3JOsjPyoXZLcT2bMrvgl-kaHJyuaylFntdvCm2wU3bDnABCd0" style="border: none;" width="565" /></span></div>
<br />
Bijenstal Breukelen staat in de dierweide in Breukelen Noord. De belangrijkste voedselbronnen voor de honingbijen komt van de wilgen, fruitbomen, linden en klimop. In de tuinen rondom vinden ze ook allerlei andere bomen en struiken en is er van lente tot nazomer nectar en stuifmeel te vinden. Het kan ook zijn dat ze naar het bos in het noorden vliegen om bijvoorbeeld honingdauw te verzamelen. Ze kunnen tot wel drie kilometer ver vliegen voor dracht. De meeste honing van Bijenstal Breukelen komt van de vele lindebomen die langs de Straatweg staan. In 2018 was het erg droog midzomer. Toen is er nauwelijks honing geoogst. Dit is anders in 2019, er was een natte periode en daarna kwam te linde vol in bloei. Zo zie je dat de honingopbrengst afhankelijk is van de bijen die afhankelijk zijn van de bloemen die afhankelijk zijn van het weer. <br />
<br />
<b>Beep! Hoe gaat het met ‘de bijen’?</b><br />
In Bijenstal Breukelen worden de bijen verzorgd met behulp van een digitaal systeem genaamd Beep. Het meet het gewicht van een bijenkast waar het volk in zit en de temperatuur en het geluid in het volk. Zo kan op afstand waargenomen worden of de bijen gezond zijn. Er kan zelfs mee gezien worden of de bijen zwermen en of er veel nectar verzameld wordt per dag. Ook is er een app die de imker helft overzicht te houden. Beep is open source, met hulp van subsidies opgezet en wordt met Europese financiering verder uitgebreid en geprofessionaliseerd. Bijenstal Breukelen is één van de test stations van de Breukelse stichting genaamd Beep. Zie voor meer informatie: <a href="http://www.beep.nl/">www.beep.nl</a> <br />

<br />
Zaai en verwilder! Er zijn 360 soorten bijen in Nederland. De honingbij is er maar één van. Imkers verzorgen deze bijenvolken, maar wie zorgt ervoor dat alle andere soorten het ook goed hebben / beter krijgen? Dat zijn de wilde bijen met vaak prachtige namen zoals de bosbesbij (Andrena lapponica). Ze hebben divers voedsel, nectar en stuifmeel, en nestplekken nodig. Insectenhotels helpen een beetje maar planten met bloemen zaaien en struiken en bomen planten heeft veel meer effect. Hoe meer en diverser, hoe beter. Diversiteit is goed omdat er veel gespecialiseerde bijen zijn met een specifiek dieet maar om omdat een gevarieerde dieet gezonder is dan een eenzijdig dieet. En laat de natuur maar z’n gang gaan, verwilderen. Veel beter dan een groen grasmat, ofwel een groene woestijn, zonder voedsel. Of leg een bloemenlint aan. Wat dat is en hoe je dat doet? Zie de diaset ‘<a href="https://t.co/irtx6m7TT5">Hoe leg ik een bloemenlint aan?</a>’. <br />

<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5Q7jtmn7gVo/VuCbUY3cbrI/AAAAAAAArkQ/KCTRC9S6fRU/s1600/IMG_5890.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="379" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5Q7jtmn7gVo/VuCbUY3cbrI/AAAAAAAArkQ/KCTRC9S6fRU/s640/IMG_5890.JPG" width="640" /></a><br />
Bee hives are like factories with production lines, good manufacturing procedures and monitoring and response mechanisms. When all goes according to plan, outputs are as expected. Baby bees are born, the nectar flow is turned into honey and the place is kept clean and tidy, all by the bees. However, when things turn sour like unfavorite weather patterns, invasions or diseases, a colony may succumb very quickly. Digital beehive monitoring using remote sensors allows for distant, paperless verification and early warning notification.<br />
<br />
Here below an overview of digital beehive monitoring parameters.<br />
<br />
<b>Weight</b><br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
</div>
<br />
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Exbpxqfw1nA/VuUay6NSKHI/AAAAAAAArlE/sXNRAjAhXHYi2Vz3om1KHWxFxQibLk4Lw/s1600/weight%2Bgraph.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="258" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Exbpxqfw1nA/VuUay6NSKHI/AAAAAAAArlE/sXNRAjAhXHYi2Vz3om1KHWxFxQibLk4Lw/s400/weight%2Bgraph.png" width="400" /></a>The total weight is the hive (constant unless the beekeeper changes anything) plus frames with beewax, nectar, pollen, brood and honey and the bees itself. Weight drastically increased with full on honey production. Weight will decrease slightly at night when all bees are in, eating some and evaporating water from nectar to produce honey. Monitoring weight can help determine if there is enough space left. If not, the bees may swarm or leave the hive. During winter, the it helps to determine if there is enough food stock left to start up expansion of the colony early in the year. If the weight suddenly drops several kilograms, a nearby colony may be stealing nectar or honey stock or wax moths or mice may be eating their way through the hive. When multiple hives in the same location are being monitored, the pattern comparison can highlight anomalies.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Graph from: <span style="font-family: "cambria";"><a href="http://hivetool.net/hive_reports/hivetool_2Apr14.ppt">'Monitoring Hive Weight, Temperature, and Sound:The Inside Info and What it Might Mean' by Bryan Hains</a> via <a href="http://hivetool.net/node/93">Hivetool.org</a></span></span></div>
<b><br /></b>
<b>Temperature </b><br />
<br />
Both outside and brood temperature are important. Outside temperature indicates if the bees can fly. In combination with flight activity monitoring, one can check if behaviour is normal. Temperature measurement in the brood indicates bee health; keeping a steady temperature of 34 degrees by heating it up in winter and cooling it down in summer.<br />
<br />
<b>Motion</b><br />
<br />
The first check a beekeeper on a typical inspection, is visually check the flight deck; the arrival and departure strip for the bees. Are they flying for their foraging trips, is pollen coming in (nectar is harder to see), any abnormal behaviour or signs? A webcam can help to check the flight deck, but it will not interpret for you what it’s seeing (not yet that is). Measuring motion activity at the entrance in combination with other factors (rain, wind, light) is an indication of the health of the colony. <br />
<br />
<b>Sound </b><br />
<br />
The frequency at which bees flap their wings determines the sound frequency in the hive. For example when you expect they are fanning too cool the hive. When a bee colony is getting ready to swarm there will be a number of bees ‘starting up’ the rest of the the colony. Their sound pattern can be compared with a F1 wagon warming up. When this sound pattern is detected the beekeeper will want to take action soon to keep them in hive. Other uses of sound are to detect if the colony is without a queen; they sound ‘low’. Furthermore, queen bees which are about the hatch ‘toot’ and ‘quack’ to each other. A sound sample <a href="http://www.lcbaor.org/sounds/Track06.mp3">here</a>. Note; bees can't hear sounds, but can feel vibrations.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Wind, rain, light</b><br />
<br />
With strong winds or with rain, bees won’t likely fly out. So in combination with flight activity one can check normal behaviour.<br />
<br />

Using readily available tools we can easily convert content between the four types, making the content available to a wider (e.g. tv and radio) or a specific (e.g. text based when equipment is absent) audience.</b><br />

<b><br /></b>
<br />
<b>Text</b> - People who are literate can read text or people can read text out to others (eg teachers or facilitators to a class or group). Typical examples of text are books and newspaper articles. Text can also be in digital form such as website texts. Often images are added to texts to illustrate the story or to visually explain something.<br />
<br />
<b>Image </b>- these can be of various types e.g. photographs and drawings. One does not need to be literate to understand images. The same is true for audio and video. Images are a visual means, literally to show something. Images can tell a powerful and convincing story, especially when the viewer can identify with the images, e.g. their area, their people, their issues and solutions. When an image stirs an emotional reaction they can be particularly persuasive to an audience.<br />
<br />
<b>Audio </b>- when text is recorded and played to others,e.g. via radio, we call it audio. Audio is the content type, radio is, in this case, the channel. Audio can have a larger impact when it is followed by debate e.g. via radio (audio) listening groups. Radio is not the only channel audio can be used on. It can be recorded and played on audio recorders and most modern mobile phones, tablets and laptops have audio recording and playback features.
<br />
<br />
<b>Video </b>- this is the fourth and last format. It is also the richest because the audience can both see something and they can listen to something i.e. multiple senses are used. Like audio, video can nowadays be recorded and played back on modern mobile phones, tablets and laptops computers.
Conversion
Here you will find general guidelines on how to convert on media type to another:<br />

<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">The 12 conversions</span></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
<br />
<b>TEXT>AUDIO</b> You need to record the text and for that you need to use a suitable voice and a device to record with. Mobiles, tablets and laptop and some desktop computers have a built-in voice recorders, so you do not need to buy a separate device. The voice to record the text with needs to be very clear and preferably without accent. Also, he/she should talk clearly and not too fast. You might need to record several times before the recording is of good quality. Make sure there are no background noises, if possible, if you have one, use a microphone (mobile phone headsets often have a microphone). Save the file (preferably as mp3 file) and done! You can either play the audio to a group, hand it to a radio station or use it to make a video; see AUDIO>VIDEO here below. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
<b>TEXT>IMAGE</b> Think about the essence of the story; what is it about, what is the message? There are several (easy) ways to convert text into an image: make a drawing, take a photo or ask an artist to create an image. Often text and images are combined; think for example of poster with a image that captures the essence of the poster, but the poster also contains text to promote an event, raise awareness on an issue, etc.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><br />TEXT>VIDEO</b> To convert text to video we need images (video consists of a set of "still images" or "frames") and audio. So to convert text to video we need to convert it to images and audio first. A whole different approach can be to record a fresh video from the text. This can be done with a video recorder (on mobile phones, tablets and laptops) whereby someone reads out the text and the person is recorded doing so. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
<b>AUDIO>TEXT</b> When we have an audio recording such as a radio broadcast, we can convert it to text by writing down the words. As radio is a live broadcast we might need to record it first with a audio or voice recorder. The process of converting audio to text is called transcription. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
<b>AUDIO>IMAGE</b> We can do this in two steps: AUDIO>TEXT and then TEXT>IMAGE. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
<b>AUDIO>VIDEO</b> Video is a combination of (a set of) images and audio. So if we have the audio available we just need to add the images. The simplest form of creating video is to take a set of images (drawings, photos, etc.) and create a video slideshow out of it. Popular software to do this is Windows movie maker.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
<b>IMAGE>TEXT</b> There are many types of images. For this conversion we need to find out what the image is telling us, or what we want it to show to the audience. We might need to investigate the background to the image (e.g. the story of the person in a photo). When you write down the story, you have the text version. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
<b>IMAGE>AUDIO</b> For this conversion we need to first convert the IMAGE>TEXT and then TEXT>AUDIO.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
<b>IMAGE>VIDEO</b> As described above under AUDIO>VIDEO we will combine images with audio to create video. The simplest form is to create a video slideshow with a set of images. A more complex and time consuming methods are animation (cartoon) videos. <br /><br /><b>VIDEO>TEXT</b> This is the same transcription process as with AUDIO>TEXT. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
<b>VIDEO>AUDIO</b> Video has an image and an audio track. By isolating the audio track and saving that separately on our computer, we can convert video to audio. This can be done with most video editing software tools.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
<b>VIDEO>IMAGE</b> Similar to the previous conversion (VIDEO>AUDIO) we can extract images from video. These are called "stills" or "frames". On computers it can also be realised by making screenshots. To create a good quality (still) image with sharp enough quality you might need to fiddle around and try a few times. </span><br />

Are they really weaknesses or maybe pitfalls of your strengths? Too much of the good thing.. is not a good thing. And then, how might some of your frustrations be linked to your strengths, and other people's competencies..<br />
<br />
I like to share a powerful tool to gain insight into one's core qualities, pitfalls, allergies and challenges and how they interact: the core quadrant, <span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; line-height: 21.983333587646484px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">developed by <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/pub/daniel-ofman/5/253/58a" target="_blank">Daniel Ofman</a>. </span></span><br />

The key question then is: which core qualities do their have which sometimes becomes their pitfall (e.g. in stressful situations) and your allergy, or rather: irritation. But most importantly; what can it teach you about your personal challenge as a tool to neutralize the allergy. See the diagram below. Good luck!</span><br />

Often fairly simple problem statements are used in planning and project documents. The truth is in most cases complex - multiple individuals, groups and organisations are involved and have their own interests. Then there are historical aspects and traditions, external factors, and so on. It might be helpful to break-down, and thereby detail, the elements relating to a core problem and its effects and convert these into solutions. Having this overview helps to get insight into the complexity and take informed decisions on where to take action. It also helps to check and monitor if enough causes are tackled to result in successful, lasting solutions. Another advantage is that it can help to create the project approach and planning, especially project objectives.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WMrKgJIIs2U/UCY2wwmDInI/AAAAAAAAK-U/7JqCsACq0bo/s1600/Problem-solution-tree-template1.tiff" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WMrKgJIIs2U/UCY2wwmDInI/AAAAAAAAK-U/7JqCsACq0bo/s1600/Problem-solution-tree-template1.tiff" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="color: red;">
<b>Steps</b></div>
<br />
1. Identify the <b>core problem</b>, this may require some discussion <br />
2. Think of existing <b>issues (causes)</b> contributing to this core problem and their <b>underlying causes</b>. Write them down in negative form e.g. lack of ...<br />
3. Detail the <b>effects</b> of these problems. Check every problem on the sheet and add missing effects (ask the question: so what?)<br />
4. Check if the overview (see below) makes<b> </b>sense; are the <b>cause-effect relationships</b> logical and complete?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QJTJ6EC_c6I/UCY4oRXBfmI/AAAAAAAAK-c/1xl8em36L9M/s1600/Problem-solution-tree-template2.tiff" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QJTJ6EC_c6I/UCY4oRXBfmI/AAAAAAAAK-c/1xl8em36L9M/s1600/Problem-solution-tree-template2.tiff" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
5. Rephrase the causes, core problem and effects into <b>solutions</b> (convert negative into positively stated form) <br />
6. Check again: does the the new 'means-ends' relationships <b>make sense</b>? Change or add elements (even causes and effects) where needed<br />
7. Decide where to take action to have the best chance to solve the core problem.<br />
8. The solutions can be rephrased into <b>project objectives</b> and help to determine <b>indicators</b> i.e. to measure impact and proof of a successful approach.<br />
<br />
<div style="color: red;">
<b>Mindmap templates </b></div>
<br />
What I particularly like about this approach is it's logical flow in a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind_map">mindmapping</a> fashion. Both images are available as templates in <a href="http://www.mindjet.com/">MindJet Mindmanager</a> format: <a href="https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BwmIn6fdnnRlZUlaeDNNYUdfNG8" target="_blank">problem tree</a> and <a href="https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BwmIn6fdnnRlYmJsWlRkSEVvVWs" target="_blank">solution tree</a>. </div>

<span style="display: block; margin: 12px 0pt 4px;">Project management can be a pretty challenging job at times. Running IT projects, building a house, having a baby; lots to do (or not to forget ;-), risks to manage.. For me reason to compile my notes and experiences of 10+ years into a course I used to give in Kenya and now share it online.</span><span style="display: block; margin: 12px 0pt 4px;"> </span><span style="display: block; margin: 12px 0pt 4px;"></span><span style="display: block; margin: 12px 0pt 4px;"> </span><b style="display: block; margin: 12px 0pt 4px;"><a href="http://www.slideshare.net/martenschoonman/practical-project-management-full-course" target="_blank" title="Practical Project Management - full course">Practical Project Management - full course</a></b> <iframe frameborder="0" height="355" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/embed_code/10422101" width="425"></iframe> <br />
<div style="padding: 5px 0 12px;">
The subjects in the presentation cover the role of the project manager the different basic models of project management cycle that I have come across and.. something which I call 'the three principles of project management'. OK, I'll give it away now.. To me these are: I. planning, II. communication and III. risk management. Enjoy & good luck.</div>
