In this week’s Race + Power newsletter, we rerun a series by NPQ’s Editor in Chief, Cyndi Suarez, on the topic of Sensemaking. Sensemaking organizations are complex organizations that defy clear cause-and-effect relationships, like many in our sector. We find that this organizational change approach is particularly useful in times of rapid change, like our own, when new arrangements and ways of working can emerge that are better suited to the task of addressing complex social challenges. This series introduces four key concepts and practices of sensemaking: an overview of this approach vs. traditional ones, the interplay of enactment and improvisation, the sensemaking worker, and structuring your organization to be suited for interpretation. At NPQ, we are putting such an approach into practice. Given our key role in sensemaking in the field, we have no choice but to jump in and explore. We hope these stimulate your thinking and move you to engage with us on the topic.
