This paper presents a people-centric and social alternative methodology for exploring knowledge management and developing information systems through the Sensemaking Framework of Knowledge in Organisations. This methodology is based on a synthesis of seminal theories including Cecez-Kecmanovic's Sensemaking theory (2000) which was developed from works by Weick (1995), Wiley (1994) and Ryle (1949), and Tsoukas'(1996) theory of the firm as a distributed knowledge system. © 2005.enConference paper0020080965200806241506552-s2.0-8486912109243176Jerram, C.
