Quotes from Weick, 2009, Making Sense of the Organization

p.140 Though plausible, the story that is selected is also tentative and provisional.

p.141 Sensemaking is not about truth and getting it right. Instead, it is about continued redrafting of an emerging story so that it becomes more comprehensive, incorporates more of the observed data, and is more resilient in the face of criticism... People may get better stories, but they will never get the story... The idea that sensemaking is driven by plausibility rather than accuracy (Weick 1995, p. 55) conflicts with academic theories and managerial practices that assume that the accuracy of managers' perceptions determine the effectiveness of outcomes.
