Description
Biomimicry is abuzz with this talk, as we explore collaborative sensemaking through the lens of the honey bee. To confront the truly wicked and complex challenges of our time, we need to embrace collaborative sensemaking and wayfinding. This requires sensemaking at scale, radical collaboration, and meaning-making conversations. While this sounds daunting, we can learn some simple and powerful lessons from the honey bee. Complex problems don’t yield to previous best practices, yet can be managed by guiding principles. We’ll explore some of those principles in this honey of a talk.
