This paper requires you to identify a current change in an organization with which you are familiar and evaluate a current public issue about which “something must be done.” In relation to the change issue, think about what sense-making changes might need to be enacted and how you would go about doing this. Assess this in terms of the eight (8) elements of the sense-making framework suggested by Helms Mills and as set out in Table 9.7:

1. Identity construction
2. Social sense-making
3. Extracted cues
4. Ongoing sense-making
5. Retrospection
6. Plausibility
7. Enactment
8. Projection

• Which ones did you believe you might have the most/least control over and why?
• What implications does this have for adopting a sense-making approach to organizational change?
