This diagram is utilized in several public workshops and keynote talks that extends ten years of Humantifc work. CoFounders Elizabeth Pastor and GK VanPatter connect the dots and share views into the relationship between rising complexity of human challenges and the significant rise of interest in Visual SenseMaking around the world.
Making the distinction between SenseMaking (making the strange familiar) and StrangeMaking (making the familiar strange), Humantific points out a paradigm shift underway across Design 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 that has enormous implications for 21st century design education as well as strategic design practice.
In a post consumer society it is a brain and skill shift equivalent to the retooling of the industrial era. Making sense of organizational and social complexity in order to get ready for change is very different from focusing on making cool products to consume. SenseMaking requires a different skill-set than StrangeMaking.
The free 2-hour Glimpse into Visual SenseMaking workshop wrapped in New York last week with 40+ enthusiastic attendees engaging in the session taught by Humantific CoFounder Elizabeth Pastor. The “Glimpse” program is a series of public workshops designed to introduce participants to basic fundamentals of Visual SenseMaking and to how Humantific applies Visual SenseMaking to real-world organizational and social challenges.
If you would like to get on the attendee list for the upcoming ”Glimpse” sessions in San Francisco, Madrid, or Copenhagen send an email to programs (at) humantific (dot) com with the appropriate city as the subject.
“Glimpse” is an introduction to Humantific’s more advanced Complexity Navigation Program for change driving leaders. The Complexity Navigation Program combines accelerated skill-building in Strategic CoCreation, Design Research and Visual SenseMaking.
If you are a leader tasked with driving change and you would like to have a conversation with Humantific regarding how Complexity Navigation skills can help accelerate your change initiative send an email to programs (at) humantific (dot) com with Complexity Navigation as the subject.
