Social innovation is a term used describe the process of designing and developing creative solutions to address the pressing unmet social needs. Kennisland is among a few organizations who does social innovation in its scope of work. Kennisland needs to showcase the results of their social innovation to tell the public about the benefits of social innovation and the value of Kennisland, but the results are abstract and invisible because the problems are big and complex. However, Kennisland results are not that invisible. The results are already there, materialized in the personal stories of Kennisland's partners, funders, or users. Thus a tool is created to capture these personal stories. Kennisland and its partners/ funders/ users can use the tool to co-write, co-visualize, co-review, and publish the stories together. The story is written with a storytelling approach, using elements such as: setting/ context, characters (who are involved), problems (what problem is it trying to address), the beginning (how the project starts), the turning point (what kind of innovation is done), and the end (what have been changed, or what have been learned by both parties). Besides showing the benefits and values of social innovation and of Kennisland, these stories also serve as the evaluation and reflection tool for the parties involved to evaluate and reflect on the innovation process.
