Cynefin offers five decision-making contexts or "domains"- obvious (known until 2014 as simple), complicated, complex, chaotic, and disorder-that help managers to identify how they perceive situations and make sense of their own and other people's behaviour. The framework draws on research into systems theory, complexity theory, network theory and learning theories.
Account of a NetIKX meeting with Tony Quinlan of Narrate, 7 March 2018, by Conrad Taylor At this NetIKX afternoon seminar, we got a very thorough introduction to Cynefin, ananalytical framework that helps decision-makers categorise problems surfacing in complex social, political and business...

This paper is to introduces the Cynefin model and its practices which can be used to address the uncertainty of the modern world. The practices that are introduced can be used to compliment traditional approaches to project, programme and portfolio management. This provides a more comprehensive approach that reflects the needs of management in an ever more uncertain world.
A few years ago I was lucky enough to get exposed to the Cynefin model and it resonated deeply with me. I see it as a reference point for a lot of the transformation approaches that I use. A great explanation of Cynefin is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7oz366X0-8 I use the framework as the basis for transformation…

We all recognise that world is inherently complex but what does this mean? This mini-book started out as a series of papers that were experiential in nature and which were intended to provide an introduction to complexity, the Cynefin framework in particular and some of its related practices that allow us to make sense of the world and to know enough to act.
This mini-book is based around the Cynefin framework, a contexutalisation and sense-making framework developed by Dave Snowden. The resource provides an overview of the Cynefin framework and use of narrative research, guidance and a tool for developing shared sense-making, and tools and guidance...
I was really looking forward to hearing Rod Humby (@rodhumby) give this talk. In a nutshell, what can complexity theory teach us about to perceive our work and our careers. Neatly done.

One of the core ideas of Cynefin is the use of safe-to-fail experiments to determine how you want to evolve the system. As Seneca the Younger said “If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favourable”. This paper looks are the Cynefin practices related these experiments and the rigorous review of them.
The framework with the special name Cynefin exists for quite some time. (What) Can it help us in an agile development environment? Can it describe complexity? Is it better than Scrum? And most of all: What the hack is it about, really? Your mental comfort zone may be challenged. Be prepared to discover and share …

Lets get complex. Not complicated. Not chaotic (not yet). Definitely not simple. Complex. To get a little deeper into why everything is broken, we're going to need to some kind of framework - here's one that someone else made earlier. Imagine the world consists of - and also can be thought of as - five…
One of the most important things to understand in modern business (and quite possibly life in general) is the concept of complexity. While we use the words complicated and complex almost interchangeable in everyday language, they mean very different things. Let’s explore my favourite model on complexity called Cynefin.
Complexity needn't hinder organisational change. Learn about three frameworks that can help you tackle complex situations and drive transformational change
Is it what we call complexity simply an evidence of the growing tension before change? In any case, change needs to tackle both internal and external, individual and collective...and often some more of the organizational potential is trying to emerge, and we (individuals) get in the way of its manifestation because our "ego" does not "like" it...or is afraid of!
Over the last year and a half I've been working with the Health Foundation, supporting a team (led by Tracy Webb) designing an innovation and improvement lab that will work with the Q community, exploring systemic challenges in health and care in the UK. Designing an innovation function in an organisation or system is no straightforward task, and I've been reflecting…
