Sensemaking vs. Sense-Making

Brenda Dervin often uses the latter for the Sense-Making Methodology on her webpages.

Do we need to diambiguate?

--Msloescher (talk) 20:36, 24 January 2010 (UTC)This page is grossly inaccurate with respect to military command and control. As one of the authors of the Navy doctrine Network-Centric Warfare, i can assure you that the elements listed under this article on sense-making are nowhere mentioned in the doctrine. The doctrine is straightforward:[reply]

1. that Brilliant Sensors linked to

2. Sophisticated Networks, linked to

3. Long-legged Precision Weapons

Make it possible to mass fires instead of massing forces.

Moreover, it might make possible two other opportunities:

First, Speed of Command, by which we mean the ability to make decisions faster (not necessarily better) that the enemy

Two: Decentralized Execution, by which we might be able to preclude the actions of an enemy and prevent war from escalating.

NB: that sense-making, or as some put it situational awareness, is but one part of this, and not the critical element. The critical elements are in the shift to the principles of war, particularly the nature of mass and command.

Research

This page also lacks reference to work in sensemaking and sensemaking tools:

Anyone willing to take a stab at improving this article?

This article has potential, but needs both cleanup, better in-line references, and accessible to new readers. Anyone willing to take a stab at improving this article? Harvey the rabbit (talk) 01:33, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Added material about D. Snowden and the Cynefin framework. All linked to sensemaking and complexity theory. Nuovosole —Preceding undated comment added 10:21, 6 August 2009 (UTC).[reply]
