Getting into a sensemaking mindset
Brenda Dervin recently made a few points in her masterclass that have stuck in my mind. Like: when it comes to sensemaking, what matters is the moment of action. There is no reality, only reality-making.
It seems that taking a sensemaking approach requires getting into a sensemaking mindset.
How about this zen koan to help you get into a sensemaking mindset….
- Q: How long should you stay at something?
- A: However long it takes to get what you came for.
- Q: How do you decide what you came for?
- A: You don’t, you discover it.
- Q: How do you discover it?
- A: You notice what isn’t there anymore when you feel like leaving.
