NextDesign Leadership Network
In April 2011, as part of spring cleaning, NextD converted the Transforming Transformation discussion list on LinkedIn, launched in 2007, to NextDesign Leadership Network. The focus of the open discussion list will remain on NextD’s original root subject: next design leadership.

OPEN Innovation Consortium
In collaboration with other stakeholders, experts and organizations, Humantific created OPEN Innovation Consortium in 2010. We are presently conducting research on the subject of open innovation including its past, present and future as well as the rapidly changing implications for business and society. Unlike ten years ago, today it is more broadly understood that innovation involves a lot more than technology. Innovation also involves making sense of and orchestrating human behavior. With tremendous interest in open source systems what are the implications for organizations and societies seeking to create innovative cultures? Apart from the marketplace hype what is the state of open source innovation today? What are some of its complexities and complications? Can 21st century open source innovation tools be created? Do they already exist somewhere? These are among the many questions being rapidly explored and digested within the OPEN Innovation Consortium.

SenseMaker Dialogs
SenseMaker Dialogs is a new speaker series focused on the rapidly changing hybrid activity of SenseMaking in the 21st century.
Organized by the Humantific team in New York, SenseMaker Dialogs will celebrate and share views into the revolutionary wave in sensemaking that is underway in our increasingly complicated world.
Leading SenseMakers today are already involved in much more than data and information visualization. SenseMakers have become integral to many forms of change making occurring around the world.
The boundaries of what sensemaking is and what sensemakers do is in a state of rapid transformation like never before. SenseMaker Dialogs will explore these multi-dimensional shifts.
Each talk will feature two thought leaders engaged in exploring the boundaries of sensemaking (speaker list TBD).
The first SenseMaker Dialogs session is tentatively scheduled for mid-July in New York. These will be bi-monthly mid-week evening sessions from 6:30 – 8:30 pm. Space will be limited.
Online registration will be opening soon. If you would like to get on the early registration list, send an email to programs (at) humantific (dot) com with “SenseMaker Dialogs” as the subject.

Social SenseMaking
We launched the Social SenseMaking Network on Facebook in February of 2009.
What is Social SenseMaking?
Social SenseMaking is the design, science and art of making complex social issues understandable and engaging to humans for the specific purpose of helping to drive social change.
Increasingly social change leaders recognize that before societal change happens new understanding must happen, new thinking must happen. Social SenseMakers have become integral to many forms of ChangeMaking transformation occurring around the world.
Social SenseMaking Symposium
