Small Changes, Local Action and Sensemaking in Complexity | Beth Smith and Dave Snowden |

Complexity experts Beth Smith and Dave Snowden talk with Aava and Bonne about how we can take the massive complex challenges that confront us all and see them through the everyday stories of people at the local level. Why is this important? Who's stories are currently getting told? Whose aren't? Who is interpreting the 'data'? Where is there coherence in the stories and what can we learn from them? With this kind of approach to 'sensemaking', perhaps we might be able to see a richer picture of reality and not resort to either/or choices!
Recorded at the Festival of Hope Wales on 2nd December 2022 at UWC Atlantic College, St Donats, Wales.

The ultimate problem with sensemaker is that it must work within the liberal worldview, which conditions its interpretation of "acceptable" outliers. It is open to unknowns, provided that they work within liberalism.
