“The heresy of one age becomes the orthodoxy of the next.” — Helen Keller 1
The 15-minute Future-Fit Culture Frequently Asked Questions video above addresses the following question:
“Geoff, you place a lot of emphasis on sense making, decision making, and action taking in your work. I’m seeing a lot more voices these days advocating the involvement of more people throughout an organisation in collective or shared sense making. The big problem I see with going in this direction is how are leaders expected to cope with the massively increased volume and complexity of information they then have to process in order to make decisions?”
I tackle this question in the video above.
The video also references the following previous articles:

Helen Keller (1880–1968) was an American author, disability rights advocate, political activist and lecturer. She lost her sight and her hearing due to illness aged 19 months but despite that, eventually attended Harvard University and became the first deafblind person in the United States to earn a BA. The quote above — and my iPhone wallpaper — is from her 1903 essay “Optimism” page number 47.
