3TT: Connecting the Dots in Gray Areas
My name is Mama Sow, and I’m the new Research Intern at Feedback Labs.
Are You Being Served?

We are approaching the one-year anniversary of the launch of the…
3TT: Blue Ribbon Feedback
Feedback can be simple. I recently learned that a simple feedback tool I designed over three years ago is still going strong and is about to be scaled up massively.
Feedback Fundamentals: Buy-In
Last time, we examined design – the step in which you plan the rest of your feedback loop. This week, we examine the Collect step.
3TT: Collecting Feedback in a Coworking Community (Let the People Vote for their Coffee)
Here at the Open Gov Hub (home of Feedback Labs!), we constantly think about creating a culture that sparks collaboration
Labstorm: Feedback is in the Air
Feedback mechanisms at airport security checkpoints, or the entrance of the World Bank, are inviting. The smiley faces clearly display a range of emotions easy to identify. The buttons themselves are just begging to be pushed. It’s visual. It’s intuitive. But does it effectively close the feedback loop?

3TT: Feeding the Feedback Loop
Habitat for Humanity partners with individuals and families to build or improve an affordable, decent place to call home. A family’s transformation may start with their home, but we believe it advances when they remain engaged in their community. We tested this theory using a grant from the Fund for Shared Insight to pilot a feedback loop project. During the course of the project, we tracked and encouraged community engagement in 12 neighborhoods across the country.
