What is Enthinkment Circle?
Enthinkment Circle extends the work of Professor Louis Ralph Pondy who died at age 49 his work left undone.
Born 9 March 1938 in Lorain Ohio, and died 15 July 1987 in Urbana, Illinois.

In 1978, Professor Louis Ralph Pondy shouted the word “Enthinkment” but just once, then made a joke about it, and never uttered again. He died 1987. 
Two years ago, we formed 'Enthinkment Circle' and take up the long path of thinking, called Enthinkment.
It is a path of questioning one’s own thinking and the thinking paths of organizations.


It was as if Pondy incarnated John Dewey’s (1910) How to Think, and Dewey’s (1927) own quantum leap after he was smitten by the Heisenberg Indeterminacy Principle. The drawing by Sabine Trafimow captures how Leaping Lou would explicate formulas, equations, and propositions from his training in physics, and then tidy up management and organization theories. What is Called Thinking?, a question Heidegger  (1954) asked, and one that Management Thought can ask as it attempts to cope with world problems that are not just enactment sensemaking.

Known to friends and colleagues affectionately as 'Leaping Lou', he was an original thinker.

What does Professor Karl Weick say about 'Enthinkment'?
            in Social Psychology of Organizing (1969, and again 1979: 164) say? 
“The concept of an enacted environment is not synonymous with the concept of a perceived environment, even though citations of the concept would suggest that it is. If a perceived environment were the essence of enactment then, as Lou Pondy suggested, the phenomenon would have been called enthinkment not enactment.”
