Its cool to see Dave Snowden show up again in the blogs. I mostly run into him in Groove workspaces.
Sense making.
Most of the time I love going multidisciplinary, but now it feels more as a curse. Books are piling up on my desk, I discover yet another theory, get reviewer comments with "so and so paper would be relevant here"...
I guess it's not about information overload - the world is big regardless the size of window I use to look at it. It's about complexity - and a need to map, model, simplify, represent it in languages I know.
Nobody teaches you to make sense (even Dave Snowden :)
I just start somewhere. There should be a way to crack this jigsaw puzzle.
