Sensemaking Institute is a think-and-do tank dedicated to mastering uncertainty, orchestrating ecosystems, and unleashing the hidden power of serendipity.
Founded by Ilkka Kakko, a pioneer in serendipity research and ecosystem thinking, the Institute explores how human creativity, interdisciplinary encounters, and jester-driven innovation can thrive in complex environments.
We are the home of Vucability Improvement® – the ability to prosper in VUCA conditions (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous). It is not only our trademark, but our guiding principle.
🧠 Our mission
To empower organizations and communities to evolve into Smile in Mind ecosystems – environments where 21st Century Jesters play a central role, serendipity is cultivated, and vucability is the ultimate outcome.
🧩 What we do
– Serendipity-based consulting and training
– Ecosystem orchestration and strategic foresight
– Innovation facilitation through Jester practices
– Research, speaking and thought leadership
📘 Coming soon
“Serendipity Unleashed – Hidden Wisdom of the Jesters”
Ilkka Kakko’s upcoming book (November 2025) brings together 20+ years of work and will outline the Smile in Mind model in full in Chapter 5.
