Sensemakers are pattern hunters, curious experimenters, game-changers. They are problem-solvers, the seekers of new possibilities. The ones that think differently.

When the past doesn’t predict the future, sensemaking is how we navigate change, get unstuck, reach common ground, and make breakthroughs. Yet sensemaking is often over-looked and under-valued.

Sensemaking is achieved through the ideas we connect and the thinking patterns we make.

It is about how we think.

The science of thinking

The 4 thinking strategies

We think in 4 different ways, each is unique and brilliant in its own right.

Using the full diversity of the thinking strategies protects us from bias and thinking traps.

The thinking strategies enable us to not only recognise existing patterns but also create new ones.

Using all 4 gives us full power to sensemake: to solve complex problems, be adaptable and create ingenious ideas.
