Sensemaking for Success

Today’s Problems Require Innovative Solutions

Higher ed faces unprecedented challenges, and we need a method to activate teams of faculty for problem-solving.

I draw on a heuristic to work with faculty teams that:

Sees every problem as an intellectual opportunity;

Leverages disciplinary expertise;

Draws on strengths from every area of the institution;

Engages teams in sensemaking and design thinking across silos;

Allows for people to take strategic and scaffolded time to work on solutions;

Understands systems and their parts as changeable;

Views access, equity, and inclusion for deep learning as key goals.
