How To Move Through Complexity With Dave Snowden, Seminal Thinker
Cynefin! Say it with me ...
Well, you probably can’t. Because it’s a Welsh word and you have to know how it’s said: Ku-NEV-in.
My guest today is Dave Snowden, the creator of the Cynefin model. And the reason we’re learning a little bit of Welsh is because this is the model that helps us understand what it means to be operating within a complex system, and how that differs from ordered systems and chaos.
It’s a framework that fundamentally changes how you understand the world. In my conversation with Dave we discuss exactly what the Cynefin model is; the importance of boundaries and transition; why Dave’s a skeptic about Emotional Intelligence; and the power of being a generalist.
You can meet Dave and the Cynefin community at cognitive-edge.com.
