  • hudali15 Ali Anani, Managing Partner at Phenomena Communications This is an inspiring and motivating presentation. Keith, you mention on slide 8 on emergence 'but humans are more complex'. Why? Is it because of emotional interactions? of hidden agenda? Of fluctuating needs and desires? of varying agenda and concepts of win-win situations? Also, do we have any chance of predicting emerging behavior? In football (soccer) stadium we see emerging wavy behaviors when a goal is scored like the pattern that emerges with flocking birds. Thanks again for your probing presentation 2 years ago

  • guestb2b834 tonyjoyce Most interesting presentation on Cynefin. I wonder if the label of the central space is confusing here. In Dave’s works the space is mostly unlabeled. I feel that Shawn Callahan’s ’Unorder’ is a more useful term, as it is virtually impossible to distinguish Chaos from disorder.

    Isn’t the imperative ’Act-sense-respond’ pattern one of finding some measure of order in the random or utterly confusing set of signals that are the responses to our actions? 99% of people will apply some pattern, in other words, will rely on a cognitive bias to establish order, thus superstition, blindness, stereotypes, and so on. In my experience, it takes a very rare skill to be truly comfortable in living with disorder.

    Fair point - complex is complex! There are some details of the Cynefin model that I haven't included here, of course, but either way it is easy to delete that line, and leave the point as it is.

  • JohnBordeaux John Bordeaux, Associate Partner at IBM Global Business Services Great summary, thanks! One modification - when I talk about this and want to move from Craig Reynolds' 'boids' to human systems, I introduce the concept of shifting identity. Yes, humans are more complex, but I found I lost people by saying that. 'Degrees of complexity? Where is that on Cynefin?' When I refer instead to things like shifting identities, global awareness, etc., it goes much more smoothly! 3 years ago
