HANDOUT:
Sensemaking Primer
In this handout (that you already read as pre-reading prior to this semester), we explored the core principles of sensemaking, how to benchmark this critical skill, and practical tools to enhance your awareness and proficiency in sensemaking. This handout delves into the seven key principles, multi-dimensional awareness, the three essential meta-questions, and the three fundamental leadership perspectives.

HANDOUT:
Working with Assumptions
and Interpretations
In this (NEW) handout, we explored the concept of “working with assumptions and interpretations”, and underscored the dangers and pitfalls of treating our assumptions as facts and arguing our point based on our perspectives and conclusions. We introduced the “Ladder of Inference” framework, and learned a practical method for “checking our assumptions.” [This is a Google Doc set to "View Only" you will need to download as a Word doc to your computer for a local copy.]
