Cynefin Framework Experience


In organizational theory and practice, it is commonly assumed that the world operates with a certain level of predictability and order. This assumption is based on Newtonian science which forms the foundation of scientific management, and it is often helpful in situations where there is order. However, as circumstances become more complex, these simplifications may not work. Therefore, good leadership requires the ability to adapt and recognize that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to decision-making. (A Leader's Framework for Decision Making)
