The SenseMaker
SenseMaker®
works with the lived experience already present in an organisation.
Rather than relying on surveys or external interpretation, it gathers short, everyday narratives from within the system. These micro-stories make visible the patterns, tensions, and emerging shifts that shape how people actually experience their work.
The process reveals how meaning is currently being made across roles and contexts — and where small shifts might influence the wider system.
It shows the “standing waves” in the system: habits, beliefs and structures that keep things in place.
Most people don’t talk about the real tensions they face – but their stories reveal them.
We invite people to share short, concrete narratives from their daily experience. These stories surface what is happening beneath roles, strategies, and assumptions — often deeper than opinion and earlier than reflection.
Participants then interpret their own stories by locating them within a set of carefully designed tensions. This adds layers of meaning without external analysis.
SenseMaker® aggregates these narratives and makes patterns visible. The result is a nuanced picture of the system’s current dispositions — the habits, beliefs, and structures that stabilise how things are.
From there, we ask:
What small shifts could generate more of the patterns we want — and fewer of those we don’t?
