About Cynefin

Cynefin is a Welsh word that signifies the multiple factors in our environment and our experience that influence us in ways we can never understand.

The Cynefin framework is a cohesive set of principles and methods that help leaders sort the issues facing them into five contexts, defined by the nature of the relationship between cause and effect. Four of these (obvious, complicated, complex, and chaotic) require leaders to diagnose situations and to act in contextually appropriate ways. The fifth (disorder) applies when it is unclear which of the other four contexts is predominant. The Cynefin framework is based on the latest concepts from complexity science, anthropology, evolutionary biology, and cognitive science.
