On November 4th, 2022 sensemakers from across the globe met for our annual Celebration of Sensemaking. If you  missed grabbing a ticket this year, FOMO-not! We have a video version for purchase. This year at Makesensemess we celebrated one of the sharpest and most versatile tools in a sensemaker's toolbox: the diagram. 

Our 2022 line-up included guest stars, brave sensemakers, not-very-shocking-in-hindsight revelations, diagrams that made someone cry and quite a nerdy good time.

DIAGRAM NERDS' WELCOME

 

Lifetime diagram nerd and sensemaker, Stephen P Anderson, kicked off the virtual party with a world premiere of his "Video Book Forward" for Stuck? Diagrams Help. And Abby did in fact cry.

ABBY COVERT

"NO, REALLY ... WHAT IS A DIAGRAM?"

In this new talk, Abby got nerdy and specific about what we mean when we say the word diagram. She shares her journey to writing a book about diagramming and what she learned on her 18 month trek. 

DIAGRAM STORIES FROM

FIVE BRAVE SENSEMAKERS

Each presenter had 8 minutes to share a story about a diagram they made and reflect on how it helped them. This set of talks present a wider lens on how darn helpful diagrams really are, especially when we feel stuck.

  • Arabella Crawford - Diagramming to get a stronger understanding of self
  • Alfi Oloo - Diagramming towards stronger mentorship impact
  • Julia Lubarsky - Diagramming through a mental model change
  • Roy Scholten - Diagramming through a deep rabbit hole of special interest
  • Paul Wicks - Diagramming to understand unexplainable pain
