Sense & Signal Podcast:
Improv, Jazz, and the Sensemaking Organization
Jodah and Dan discuss Karl E. Weickâs concept of sensemaking organizations and how they function like jazz ensembles, nimbly addressing complex situations through improvisation. They discuss why the conversation of sensemaking organizations is important right now, what are the characteristics of a sensemaking organization, how they perform like jazz bands, their benefits and dangers, and what you can do to strengthen sensemaking in your organization.
