Sensemaking : the power of the humanities in the age of the algorithm
Madsbjerg argues that our fixation with data often masks deficiencies, and the risks for humankind are enormous. He posits that many of today's biggest success stories stem not from 'quant' thinking but from deep, nuanced engagement with culture, language, and history. He calls his method sensemaking.

Moving Social‐Behavioral Modeling Forward: Insights from Social Scientists
This paper reflects a panel discussion about the potential and power of cross‐disciplinary collaborative efforts to model human behavior. Recognizing the relative dearth of social scientists involved in rigorous thinking about modeling human behavior, we invited four researchers who live this challenge every day. We asked them to think about why their work matters, what difference it makes to the final models, where the opportunities lie for greater collaboration, and how to make these efforts more manageable for both modelers and social scientists. These conversations occurred over the span of six months via email and telephone and reflect the unique experiences of each panelist.

Look : how to pay attention in a distracted world
\"A fascinating exploration of how we pay attention that will transform the ways we connect with each other-at work, at home, and beyond We've forgotten how to pay attention, Christian Madsbjerg says in his provocative new book. Listening carefully and observing intentionally are crucial human skills, yet we're not born knowing how to do them. And thanks to the ubiquity of social media, increasing social isolation, and the use of empty imagery and ideology as stand-ins for direct observation, we're losing our ability to interpret the world at a time when we desperately need to do that. Madsbjerg, a consultant and a professor at the New School, noticed this disturbing trend and in 2015 began to coteach a course on human observation called Human Observation. To his surprise, the course has been oversubscribed since the beginning, with hundreds of students-philosophy and business majors, undergrads and graduate students-signing up for it, and hundreds more on waiting lists. In this book, Madsbjerg argues that most of us are stuck in bad habits of looking at the world without truly seeing it, and he guides us through the key observational skills we need to explain how we can recapture our ability to truly pay attention-what he calls \"the meta-skill of observation.\" Pulling from his own background and drawing examples from the arts, philosophy, and beyond, Madsbjerg has written a book of insight and practical wisdom that highlights how we can pay sharper attention to live with more empathy and connect better with others\"-- Provided by publisher.

The Power Of 'Thick' Data
AT ITS CORE, all business is about making bets on human behavior. Which product is most likely to sell, what employee is most likely to succeed, what price is a customer willing to pay? Companies that excel at making these bets tend to thrive in the marketplace.

REVIEW --- The Power Of 'Thick' Data --- Businesses need to know how a product or service fits into the emotional lives of their customers
[...]companies that rely too much on the numbers, graphs and factoids of Big Data risk insulating themselves from the rich, qualitative reality of their customers' everyday lives. The turnaround has many reasons, including the recent success of \"The Lego Movie,\" but one of them is certainly a deeper understanding of the play experience. Since its founding in 1954, Coloplast, a medical technology company based in Denmark, had grown by double digits every year.
