Use large stickies to place these as column headers on a wall. More will come up later in
the course of the exercise.
Elicit from participants what type of information or data they have in each of these
places. For example:
Email
Contact details, such as a member database
Reports/research
Funder information / contracts
Accounts/spreadsheets
Videos
Images
Private messages on Facebook, etc.
To encourage participant interaction, write one example on a sticky and place it in the
appropriate box in the matrix. Then, ask whether there is another copy of this data
somewhere. If there is, you can use another sticky and put it wherever they keep the
duplicate.
TIP: Place Computers, Phones, and Email next to each other, so you won't have to create
duplicates for everything "stored" in email (and therefore on laptops and phones)
Introduce a new vertical axis representing sensitivity. The higher on the chart, the more
sensitive the data. Ask the participants to rank data.
For a large group, divide the group into smaller teams for the next steps (it helps if there
are relatively clear thematic distinctions within the group, such as nationality, type of
work, area of interest, etc.)
Provide stickies to the group(s). Have the group(s) brainstorm about all of the data they
work with, focusing on the most important data first.
Participants should write ONE type per sticky, and create duplicates if the data is stored in
multiple locations.
For a small group, this can be done as a "live" brainstorm. For larger groups that have
been subdivided, have each group finish listing out their most important data and then
have each group place the stickies on the matrix. Invite discussions around the sensitivity
of the data.
An example may look something like this:
