Making sense

Sensemaking

Description

Making sense involves actively organizing, clarifying, and interpreting complex or ambiguous information to enable effective understanding and decision-making. This strategy addresses confusion, misinformation, and cognitive overload by distilling key facts, identifying patterns, and establishing relevance. Its practical intent is to facilitate clear communication, informed action, and problem-solving by transforming scattered data into coherent meaning, thus remedying misunderstandings and enabling individuals or groups to respond appropriately to challenges.
