Insight Clustering / Sense-Making

The process of moving from individual story fragments to collective understanding by organizing insights into broader thematic headings. After gathering rich individual insights, groups collectively deliberate where insights fit, forming patterns of understanding. This involves breaking conversations into "fragments" and extracting "factors" related to social isolation and belonging, often through collaborative "Conversation Processing Workshops". Sense-making workshops can involve larger groups from diverse backgrounds exploring these insights, sometimes starting directly with the original words from conversations. This process aids in defining challenges more clearly and building a common language for collective action.
