The organization going through this process should be having fun, not feeling like we are burdening them with extra work. \n\nAt the end of Brandcamp, we should have a stronger team and a healthy amount of \"buy in\" from the key players.\n\nThe process can be run online when needed, or a hybrid of both online and in person.\n\n## Boilerplate invite email\n\nWe'd like your help getting up to speed with understanding your perception of yourselves as a company and those who benefit from what you do.\n\nYou can help out by participating in a short online exercise that consists of answering a few questions, and it should take you just 15 minutes at most. By participating, you'll be helping us create more understanding around our brand, and where we want to take it in the future.\n\nFill out the form individually without sharing your answers with each other so we can identify trends within our team.\n\nSpend as little or as much time on this effort as you like, every little bit helps. If you start the process but find you need more time, you can use the \"Save for later\" function and come back and finish it anytime.\n\n[Link](https://####)\n\nWe would appreciate it if you could complete it by [Day], so our team can process the information quickly for our next meeting.\n\n## Online process\n\nQuick and dirty description of the steps involved\n\n - [ ] Clone this repo on a machine running Linux, Windows Subsystem Linux, or macOS _(untested)_\n - [ ] Build out a form using Gravity Forms on a Wordpress site: [JSON](https://github.com/EMRL/brandcamp/blob/main/gf/json/gravityforms-export.json)\n - [ ] Send an email to the client/stakeholder group inviting them to take part in the process (boilerplate template above)\n - [ ] After a certain time period, close the form and export the entries\n - [ ] Export the spreadsheet of entries, and make sure you remove any extra columns that are not needed\n - [ ] Save the first 3 columns of personality traits to a new file: [Example](https://github.com/EMRL/brandcamp/blob/main/gf/example.csv)\n - [ ] Save the \"More X than Y\" statements to their own file: [Example](https://github.com/EMRL/brandcamp/blob/main/gf/comparison-example.csv)\n - [ ] Run `./bc.sh /path/to/file.csv` to process the personality traits file\n - [ ] Run `./bc.sh -c /path/to/file.csv` to process the comparison statements file\n\nExample personality output:\n```\n$ ./bc.sh personality.csv\nBr\u0026ndcamp version 0.1.0\nProcessing personality.csv\n144 data points processed\nSaved to personality.processed_01.csv\n140 data points processed\nSaved to personality.processed_02.csv\n125 data points processed\nSaved to personality.processed_03.csv\n```\nExample comparison output (note the `--comparison` switch):\n```\n$ ./bc.sh --comparison comparison.csv\nBr\u0026ndcamp version 0.1.0\nProcessing comparison.csv\n120 data points processed\nSaved to comparison.processed.txt\n```\n\nAt this point, jump to the **Interpreting the results** section below\n\n## The big picture process\n\nThe process consists of two parts: \n\n### Part 1:  Creating understanding\nHopefully this can be done in person with smaller clients, larger/remote workforce clients will need to have this done through online forms, using the process outlined above.\n\n**Post-it jam session**\n\n - [ ] What words describe your organization?\n - [ ] What words describe your clients?\n - [ ] What words describe your industry as a whole?\n - [ ] What are some of the best success moments you've experienced as an organization? (What qualities did that moment represent)\n - [ ] And close with the least quantifiable exercise: More __________ than ____________. _Encourage silliness_\n\n**Interpreting the results**\n\n - [ ] Group words in two buckets, _evocative_ and _descriptive_ starting with organization words, then client words. When doing the post-it jam session, **this is theater** \n - [ ] Listen to stories of success moments, tag the word groups that can be seen in these stories\n - [ ] Visualize as data\n - [ ] Summarize with statistics\n - [ ] Create wordbank derived from those themes that cross both organization and customer\n\nIf you'd like to involve robot brains, feed the word group into ChatGPT using a prompt similar to this below:\n\nGroup these words together if they are synonyms or thematically related, and label the groups with a personality trait most represented by the words in the group: [List of words]\n\n**Summary statistics example**\n\n    90 keywords identified\n    16 personality traits defined\n    53% describe ourselves\n    47% describe those we serve\n    86% helped create our best moments\n    64% of personality traits describe both us and those we serve\n\n**Delivering the results**\n\nPart 1's final product is a presented deck that explains our interpreted results. Ideally for smaller organizations, this will be in-person. The idea is walk them through the results, playing to their nostalgia of going through the process to get here. \n\nThe **more ______ than _______** component is likely gonna have some funny shit in it so play that up.\n\nThe delivery deck should be designed so that a person the organization who was not part of the process could understand what they are looking at. Make sure it starts with a \"Goal\" statement slide. This can be a reusable, universal statement.\n\n### Part 2: Rapid prototyping\nNeeds big brain, TK\n\n - [ ] Make the client look cool\n - [ ] Send them an invoice\n - [ ] Profit\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Femrl%2Fbrandcamp","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Femrl%2Fbrandcamp","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Femrl%2Fbrandcamp/lists"}
