Make sense of it together.

Karl Weick called it sensemaking: how groups turn a confusing situation into something they can act on. Doing it together beats receiving conclusions.

  • Separate facts from rumours
  • Admit the gaps
  • One shared picture

What might it mean?

Interpret Together

  • Several possible readings
  • Surface fears openly
  • Hear every role's view

What can we control?

Back To Action

  • Our part in it
  • One or two next steps
  • A date to revisit
