Narrative and storytelling sensemaking is an approach that helps people understand complex situations. It involves gathering personal narratives and identifying patterns, often using questionnaires. This process transforms scattered information into meaningful and relatable stories, valuable for guiding change in organizations or communities. It's particularly effective in emotionally charged or complex situations, aiding decision-making and enhancing collective understanding by sharing experiences and insights.

​

At nuAgility, we harness the power of narrative and storytelling data to serve our community more effectively. We don't just collect stories; we dive deep into the wealth of information they provide, carefully analyzing emerging patterns. Doing so gives us valuable insights into the common challenges and issues our community members face.

​

But our commitment goes beyond mere analysis. We use the knowledge derived from these narratives as a foundation for designing tailored programs and initiatives. These programs are specifically crafted to address our community's prevalent problems and concerns.

​

In essence, our approach is rooted in the belief that stories hold the key to understanding our community's real needs and aspirations. We don't just listen; we actively respond, utilizing the collective wisdom shared through narratives to shape positive change and make a meaningful impact.
