This article will introduce the Cynefin framework and its underlying practices, which can be used for sense- and decision making in a complex and complicated world. The framework is developed by David J. Snowden (born 1 April 1954), and is used by leaders to determine operative context so they can make appropriate choices.
The Cynefin framework splits the issues that faces leaders into five contexts; simple, complicated, complex, chaotic and disorder. Each of which requires different approaches to leadership style.
History
The Cynefin model
- Simple contexts (known knowns)
- Complicated contexts (known unknowns)
- Complex contexts (unknown unknowns)
- Chaotic contexts (unknowable unknowns)
- Disorder (not determined)
Examples of contexts
- Examples of simple contexts
- Examples of complicated contexts
- Examples of Complex contexts
- Examples of Chaotic contexts
- Examples of Disorder
Examples of uses
