Thanks to Tom Quiggin for this example of innovation. It matches the history of science in which new discoveries generally come from mavericks, or result from accidents. Security that is small and imperfectly formed A nanotechnology experiment that went wrong could lead to the ultimate weapon in the fight against the forgers Michael Pollitt Thursday […]
One of the questions at KM World was the now familiar question: Is KM dead? My view for about two years now is that it is on its last leg as a strategic movement (otherwise known as a fad) in management. We also have that infallible predictor that a fad cycle is coming to an […]
Nice pod cast from Jonnie Moore & Tom Guarriello, Tom has a great title: Chief Idea Officer . I found it checking Technorati links to my name. Yes I know that is sad, but you need to these days for reasons of protection as much as ego. If you like part one, then part two […]
This morning I had to work on my son’s computer. He dashed off to watch South Africa (hopefully) beat England (who did win one world championship this week) with friends and left me to use my credit card to renew his Norton license. Now its a year since I converted to OSX and the wonders […]
I’ve enjoyed reading Richard Sambrook’s informative blog since he went public in August, despite the mispelling of my name on his blog roll! He has a great post today on the subject of conspiracy theories. It is a well worked article which argues that while conspiracy theories may be fun, its dangerous to take them […]
I have long admired the progressive attitude of Singapore, in particular their understanding of the need to take complexity seriously. They were early adopters of Cognitive Edge techniques and have continued to supply some of our more interesting challenges and projects. If you spend any time there you know the typical UK and US Stereotypes […]
Thanks to Joel, by way of Euan for this wonderful clip. A moral lesson for anyone wanting to pull a fast one. While on the question of trivia (serious stuff on KM Later), I was pleased to learn from the BBC that my children can only blame me if they are short, but it is […]
I am pleased to say that we have settled accreditation course dates for Europe next month and North America early next year. Accreditation courses last three days and mix theory (mainly from me) with practice (mainly from network members) and provide a chance to get an in depth understanding of Cognitive Edge methods. They also […]
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.
