Comments

The model of Collective Intelligence by Simon Buckingham Shum includes: Collective Sensing, Collective Sensemaking, Collective Ideation, Collective Decision, Collective Action. So not just sensemaking.

DSRP is not prescriptive as how to hands-on do systems thinking. It is about, as Derek says "the thinking behind the thinking". Think in terms of DSRP, and the result is a good Data Flow Diagram.
