Enter the EPIC Sabha
Eighteen canvases, one for every chapter
In the book, every chapter closes in a workshop called the EPIC Sabha. Its canvas is the worksheet: it turns the chapter's idea into something a team completes together, around one real decision.
One decision
Each canvas starts from a decision your organisation actually faces, never from a dataset or a dashboard.
One working session
The steps are short prompts. A team works through them together and writes its answers on the page.
One Blueprint
Each canvas adds a layer to the same Enterprise Sensemaking Blueprint, so the work builds across the book.
