Freedom starts in the mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, pandemic thinking has put a veil over many areas of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-a7ac13aab03846c2beca4515f07b6875\"><strong>It is only in the exchange between people that data comes to life.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are more reasons why we struggle to free up our minds again:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In complexity, we do not find cause-effect relationships<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We have difficulty in looking behind the scenes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Any many still believe that we find meaning purely by reading data.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The hope is to create meaningful encounters. Sense-making sessions are a communicative way to do this - they replace factual knowledge with attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is the instruction:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-828e72a89b2b4003a877b219e9856786\"><strong>Step 1: Choose a complex topic and invite a group of stakeholders to discuss it!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Only in direct exchange with others do you begin to understand their perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I recently did this with a team of students to create greater awareness of environmental sustainability. We found startup founders and government representatives to enter the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-48d51b35bce3400ea1d9ac5721dd5356\"><strong>Step 2: Do several rounds of breakout sessions with different contexts!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest mistake is outsourcing difficult issues to committees and expert panels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people think that only professionals can give an informed answer. However, complex issues require taking a bird's eye view, looking at the situation from different angles (contexts). It just requires our full attention to engage in complex situations through sensing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-c6e907767e7a4f1b9e833c0992695fb3\"><strong>Step 3: Share your observations freely and without bias!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a huge benefit in harvesting your feelings and experiences - yet, it's necessary to keep an open end. There is most likely no right or wrong answer to complex questions:)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All three steps line up, because they ensure a high quality of communication that allows for completely new solutions that you would not have thought possible before.
