    Organizing to counter terrorism: Sensemaking amidst dynamic complexity

    Ian Colville, Annie Pye and Mike Carter

    Human Relations 2013; 66 (9): 1201–1223

    DOI: 10.1177/0018726712468912

     

    Abstract

    Organizations increasingly find themselves contending with circumstances that are

    suffused with dynamic complexity. So how do they make sense of and contend with

    this? Using a sensemaking approach, our empirical case analysis of the shooting of Mr

    Jean Charles de Menezes shows how sensemaking is tested under such conditions.

    Through elaborating the relationship between the concepts of frames and cues, we find

    that the introduction of a new organizational routine to anticipate action in changing

    circumstances leads to discrepant sensemaking. This reveals how novel routines do

    not necessarily replace extant ones but, instead, overlay each other and give rise to

    novel, dissonant identities which in turn can lead to an increase rather than a reduction

    in equivocality. This has important implications for sensemaking and organizing amidst

    unprecedented circumstances.

     

     

    Best wishes,
