In this episode of the Agile Uprising podcast, hosts Andy Cleff and Chris Murman welcome back Ken Rickard for a dive deeper into the concept of sensemaking in organizational change and continuous improvement.

Ken discusses the importance of moving beyond frameworks to address complexity with complexity, the power of storytelling and metaphors in change management, and the value of discovery-based approaches.

The conversation explores how to define and measure behavioral changes, the challenges of implementing peer-based feedback systems, and the future of Ken's work with Jason Little in expanding on the ideas from their book "The Six Big Ideas of Adaptive Organizations: From Frameworks to Sensemaking"
