The Sensemaking Framework

The Sensemaking Framework is a way to understand how individuals interpret and give meaning to complex situations. It involves collecting information, identifying patterns, and creating a coherent understanding of what is happening. People use this process to make decisions, solve problems, and navigate uncertainty. The framework emphasizes that sensemaking is an active, ongoing process influenced by personal experiences, perceptions, and context. By understanding this process, organizations can improve communication, adapt to change, and support effective decision-making in dynamic environments.
