Sensemaking Is The New Bottleneck

One of the most disruptive failure patterns I see: we’ve normalized low accountability for sensemaking.


People attend, skim, and react - but don’t ingest, synthesize, or come prepared to debate tradeoffs. 


That pushes decisions upward, slows execution, and increases rework.



The fix is part people standard, part knowledge infrastructure: make “show up with a point of view” the norm, and build the systems that make it possible.



When was the last time you did a critical assessment of your knowledge systems? If you're trying to optimize for efficiency, there is no way around it.
