Cynefin
The Cynefin Framework is a leadership decision-making tool distinguishing operational domains to match responses with contextual reality. Developed by Dave Snowden in 2005, it emphasizes sense-making to differentiate between complex and routine challenges, preventing inappropriate problem-solving approaches. Applied across sectors from healthcare to international development, the framework helps organizations avoid both overthinking simple issues and oversimplifying complex ones, enabling more effective and contextually appropriate decision-making.
