In this episode, we continue this special series on STRATEGY.
I first ran into David Snowden's Cynefin framework in a video about, of all things, grazing. Probably most of you are not worrying about how best to graze a flock of sheep or a herd of cows, and I don’t think Snowden had grazing in mind when he came up with this framework. But it works well for understanding the difference between systems that are simple, complicated, or complex—and living systems are generally complex. Not to mention politics! Which also currently threatens to devolve into the fourth domain, chaos! Come along on this journey—I guarantee you will look at things differently afterward.
Listen here on Substack, or on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. I will be releasing on alternative platforms soon!
