The Future of Sense-making
Excerpt from report:
“Powerful disruptions to sense-making could change where Canadians find information, what
and who they trust, and how they tell facts from lies. Changes in our sense-making could
also affect Canadians’ ability to understand and willingness to engage with government policies,
as well as their desire to participate in programs. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted
the importance of sense-making in precisely these areas.”

The scanning is more generalized than specific. A system model is presented for how they define sense-making, but it is only used as an educational tool to explain to the read what sense-making is as a process. It was not used to crunch any numbers or simulate any futures. It could be viewed more as a domain map.
