 "Distributed Sensemaking: Split Updating in the Baltic Ferry Industry"\n\n
 Abstract\nTo examine distributed sensemaking across the “sharp-end” an
 d “blunt-end” of the Baltic ro-ro ferry industry\, we conducted a long
 itudinal\, inductive study of 59 bow-door locking incidents that occurred 
 over 25 years prior to the Estonia ferry accident in 1994 where 852 people
  died. Our analysis identified three patterns of updating (editing\, primi
 ng\, and triggering) that actors engaged in to make sense of minor\, moder
 ate and major incidents. We observed that one or more fractures in updatin
 g occurred in each of the three patterns of adaptive sensemaking\, leading
  us to develop the new construct “split updating.” Split updating shif
 ts our focus away from the idea that adaptive sensemaking is a monolithic 
 process. This shift highlights the distributed and variegated nature of ad
 aptive sensemaking and highlights the importance of studying boundary cros
 sing sensemaking processes. Our findings and theoretical insights make two
  contributions. First\, we expand sensemaking research from a bifurcated 
 “micro” or “macro” phenomenon to a distributed phenomenon that str
 etches across the sharp-end and blunt-end. Second\, we extend existing wor
 k on adaptive sensemaking by showing how incidents can lead to updating of
  some aspects of sensemaking while cause others to remain stable. This ada
 ptive instability can lead people to falsely conclude that the cause of a 
 problem has been addressed through updating\, and disguise unsafe practice
