The Cynefin Framework

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.


Contents

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

  • Cynefin used in Ergonomics

Criticism

  • Critical reviews of the Cynefin Framework
  • Risk of oversimplifying the problems
