What Do Humans Bring? (4): Human Meaning-Making

I submit that the next layer of "what do humans bring to organizations?" is meaning-making. What do they do with what happens in the social infrastructure and continuous learning layers?


This includes things like:
How people interpret, question, and decide
How they determine what matters, what to trust, and what to act on
Getting beyond information and "content" to judgment, context, and ethics shaping outcomes


(Note that the word "layer" is intentional. I am not thinking of a hierarchy, steps, or stack, but a dynamic, interdependent, reinforcing system. I am trying, in part, to get beyond the ages-old problem of "learning" being viewed as an event.)
