Cynefin Bryn Blew
The Cynefin framework ( ) is a conceptual framework used to aid decision-making. Created in 1999 by Dave Snowden when he worked for IBM Global Services, it has been described as a "sense-making device". ''Cynefin'' is a Welsh word for ''habitat''. Cynefin offers five decision-making contexts or "domains"—''clear'' (known as ''simple'' until 2014, then ''obvious'' until being recently renamed), ''complicated'', ''complex'', ''chaotic'', and ''confusion''—that help managers to identify how they perceive situations and make sense of their own and other people's behaviour. The framework draws on research into systems theory, complexity theory, network theory and learning theories. Background Terminology The idea of the Cynefin framework is that it offers decision-makers a "sense of place" from which to view their perceptions. ''Cynefin'' is a Welsh word meaning ''habitat'', ''haunt'', ''acquainted'', ''familiar''. Snowden uses the term to refer to the idea that we all have co ...
