A long day, starting with an early morning alarm to make the 0701 from Swindon and ending up with a late night arrival in Trieste for State of the Net 2014 of which more over the next few days. The reason for the early morning train was to give the opening keynote at KM UK. David […]
I promised yesterday to talk about peer-to-peer knowledge flow. Like yesterday's post this has an ideological aspect as well as a practical one and its nice when they coincide. I argued yesterday that people's own voice should be heard, and their own interpretation of that voice. Removing mediating layers of interpretation reduced the dangers of […]
I ran through the various papers on narrative yesterday. I spent longer than I planned on that post as I ended up reading several of them and taking notes. We are looking at the overall training programme at the moment and I am thinking of bringing back a two day course on narrative. I used […]
From time to time in knowledge management circles the cry of standardisation is raised. It's just happened again with a new KM Linked In Group with the banner …accreditation association delegated to make decisions by the global KM community. A brief investigation indicates its a variant on three men and a dog, or in this […]
When we put CalmAlpha together back in January I was somewhat shamed by Joseph Pelrine talking about his use of ABIDE, something that I developed as a pairing for ASHEN the best part of a decade ago, but then left it to go into decline. Others, Viv Read for example, argued that it should be […]
Around two decades ago I was arguing that object orientation was not just a way of creating reusable code, but was a more profound shift to enabling architectures that could combine people and technology in evolving systems. The first part was generally accepted, the second more controversial. I then seemed, in the words of Mark […]
In my last post, I drew upon lessons from the psychology of visual perception to reflect upon how we understand peripheral threats and opportunities in the 21st century. I wrote that, “the only way to translate the sensory inputs of diffuse signals into meaningful patterns is through movement, i.e., interaction.” In the savannahs and jungles […]
Last time (and too long ago) I talked about some general principles, many of them society based, which presented possible solutions to issues of knowledge retention. Now some of those were idealistic, i.e. they depended on a major shift in government policy, while others represented ways of thinking. In the three final posts in this […]
In my two earlier posts on this subject, I started by challenging the knowledge management orthodoxy of codification and then proceeded to make some more sophisticated points about the nature of explicit knowledge. I also suggested that we see intuition as compressed experience. In particular, I argued that explicit knowledge arises as a result of and […]
The Cynefin Company (formerly known as Cognitive Edge) was founded in 2005 by Dave Snowden. We believe in praxis and focus on building methods, tools and capability that apply the wisdom from Complex Adaptive Systems theory and other scientific disciplines in social systems. We are the world leader in developing management approaches (in society, government and industry) that empower organisations to absorb uncertainty, detect weak signals to enable sense-making in complex systems, act on the rich data, create resilience and, ultimately, thrive in a complex world.
