The Cynefin Framework {width=“280” height=“291”}

By Dave Snowden :

The name serves as a reminder that all human interactions are strongly influenced and frequently determined by our experiences, both through the direct influence of personal experience, as well as through collective experience (…)

The framework provides a typology of contexts that guides what sort of explanations or solutions might apply.

(…)

Obvious [Simple]

  • Tightly constrained
  • No degrees of freedom
  • sense-categorise-respond → Best Practice

Complicated

  • Governing constraints
  • Tightly coupled
  • sense-analyse-respond → Good Practice

Complex

  • Enabling constraints
  • Loosely coupled
  • probe-sense-respond → Emergent Practice

Chaotic

  • Lacking constraint
  • De-coupled
  • act-sense-respond → Novel Practice
