MAKING SENSE OF THE FUTURE, PAST AND PRESENT (Foresight Hindsight Insight)
"Perhaps the biggest challenge any human being or organisation faces, is how to make sense of their lives, and how to find meaning and direction for their activities. Sensemaking happens when sensible, meaningful explanations are built, evidence is extracted and linked to already existing structures, i.e. mental models, historical events, artefacts – or like in the case of this article – with a purposeful use of methods, especially constructed to do so. (March & Olsen 1976, Weick 1995, Porac & Thomas & Baden-Fuller 1989, Hopkinson 2001).
If we are unable to place a piece of information in context, the meaning of that information is lost. The ways we imagine the future, understand the past and come to grips with the present are extremely valuable in providing continuity and direction to our lives. Sensemaking is rooted in time and space, and occurs at the intersection of three horizons: past, present, and future."

Learning a new WFS conference (Learning - 1)
From Latvia, we would like to take part in a Meeting of Year.
How to do it, to participate at WorldFuture 2005: Foresight, Innovation, and Strategy (July 29--31, 2005, Chicago, Illinois) ?
First, learning in virtual process.
I think, it’s possible to be at shared Ba.
To get insight into current issues and priorities, understand ideas, thinking, knowledge sharing and implementation; to be closer to mental universe of the world futurists.
Let’s be all together, and online in the community.

Blog and Personal Knowledge Management
1. A blog like a book (knowledge + knower) is a unique set of issues and expression of personal knowledge management (PKM).
It was vividly portrayed, Johnnie Moore's (30.12.2004) „I would say for myself that there's blogs and then there's what happens in the spaces between the blogs. The stuff that happens in the spaces - not the comments or the pings, but the thinking and sense of connection of ideas - doesn't show on the blog, but it's there.”
An individual creates and converts information and knowledge for his own as human being.
2. Blogs are great to think out loud and thus to trigger new conversations and relationships (Ton Zijlstra). We ask ourselves: what is in-between spaces, how to learn to understand man and ourselves in systems and on what kind of values a subject is founded ? Blogs could also be great to manage to think not loud, not loud enough to be heard by many.
3. The Entrepreneurial Foresight Network evolves around mental places enabling thinking and activities aiming the shared Meta context - Entrepreneurial Foresight Basics (EFB). See also.
What about the role of ideas, questions, concepts, beliefs, also behavior and attitude what could be converted into new knowledge using a content of blogs, klogs, quotations (with reference to context and framework) from known authors ? Entrepreneurial Foresight Network assimilates messages of knowledge and presents them when we find new trends in KM issues to build strategic capabilities - EFB. Therefore, we can think quietly, also conversate quietly – to understand weblogs more and more as a comprehensive form of communication.
4. Useful quotes for KM workers, on KnowledgeBoard.
In 2005, perhaps KnowledgeBoard can be thought of as a ‘superblog’ at European and global level?
