Its been just over a week since I wrote my post on meta-muggleism, the title implying there is a lot less magic to Metamodernism than some of those appropriating the concept of metamodernity from aesthetics think there is. My original appearance on the Stoa excited some controversy and I ended up being hosted on a virtual […]
I’ve been to Copenhagen, one of my favourite cities for most of the week. I spent a lot of time there in IBM days thanks to the support of Hanna (I think I have the name right, but it was 25 years ago and I have lost touch with so if you are reading this […]
As promised I did try and get all of this into a process map last night while getting through the last three episodes of The English (worth watching and the linked review is a good summary). One of the reasons for that is that the type of system I am describing pretty much exemplifies what I […]
Yesterday in, the space between exercises I was chatting with a research nurse about patient record keeping. In the process of that discussion, we started to talk about effective communication about a patient’s condition and she made the point that a simple story can convey a lot of meaning, and that meaning is often lost […]
Yesterday I established the basis for knowledge mapping, namely to ask a meaningful question in a meaningful context. I promised that I would place that into a wider programme which, in the language of our new Hexi approach, is called an assembly. Astute readers may also have spotted a developing theme in both the banner […]
My last post linked to some of my prior work on knowledge management (KM) but I resisted a link to knowledge mapping as I wanted to update the material. That will also involve revising some of the charts and material so I decided to simply write it up again as a process, stage by stage, […]
Many moons ago I formulated seven heuristics to guide the various processes of knowledge management and they are as fresh today as when I formally codified them back in 2008. They are often quoted and sometimes practised. Regrettably, they are also at times quoted to support practices and approaches that they contradict, but such is […]
I wanted to wait until after I gave a presentation on leadership to complete this series and that took place yesterday evening. It was a mixed bag of speakers and you can find the uploaded videos here. I made the point up front that far too many people talk and consult in the field with […]
I’m interrupting my series on Leadership to pay tribute to one of the major figures in sense making who died on the last day of 2022 in Seattle. Brenda initiated and defined one of the five major schools of sense making and was also one of the most open and interesting people I have ever […]
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.
