    Hi everyone,

    A couple of friends who have read the piece below have encouraged me to share it more widely. Perhaps you could share it with selected colleagues or students?

    Sensemaking, Narrative-Building And Playing Your Part: Facing The Pendulum Shifts Of Today
    I hold University of Michigan Professor Karl Weick in high regard for his lifetime's work on sensemaking. Put simply, sensemaking is the process of making sense of the social world around you. It goes beyond psychology (which looks inside your head) and sociology (which looks outside your head) to help you consider how you interact with people and institutions as you go about your career.
