Discover how developing a flexible leadership mindset can transform your effectiveness as a woman executive. Our exclusive interview with Kevin Eikenberry, author of "Flexible Leadership," reveals powerful strategies for women leaders navigating today's complex business landscape. Why Women Executives Need a Flexible Leadership Mindset In today's rapidly evolving business environment, a flexible leadership mindset isn't just beneficial—it's essential for women executives who want to maximize their impact. According to McKinsey's 2024 Women in the Workplace report, women now hold 29% of C-suite positions, up from just 17% in 2015, yet the path to gender parity in senior leadership still extends decades into the future. For women executives facing unique challenges, developing flexibility in leadership approach provides a powerful advantage. A flexible leadership mindset allows women leaders to navigate complex situations while staying authentic to their core values. Defining the Flexible Leadership Mindset for Women Executives What exactly constitutes a flexible leadership mindset? According to Kevin Eikenberry, it means maintaining consistency in your core values while adapting your approach based on circumstances: "Flexible leadership means being consistent in our what and our why—our principles, values, and purpose—but flexible in our how," explains Eikenberry. "Like a mature tree that's firmly rooted yet bends with the wind, women executives with a flexible leadership mindset maintain their foundation while adapting their approach." The hallmark of this mindset is recognizing when "it depends" is the appropriate answer—and then thoughtfully considering what factors it depends on before determining how to proceed. About Kevin Eikenberry – Flexible Leadership Author Kevin Eikenberry is the author of over 20 books, including his latest, 'Flexible Leadership: Navigating Uncertainty and Leading with Confidence.' As the founder of the Kevin Eikenberry Group, he's advised leaders at organizations worldwide and created transformative leadership programs like the Remarkable Masterclass. The Business Cost of Inflexible Leadership for Women Executives Women executives who lack a flexible leadership mindset often find themselves locked into rigid approaches with statements like "that's just how I lead" or "they'll have to get used to it." This inflexibility creates significant limitations: Forces one approach onto diverse situations requiring different solutions Creates an identity barrier that's difficult to overcome Reduces opportunities for innovation and team development Dramatically lowers the odds of success in complex environments Reinforces potential gender stereotypes rather than transcending them Research indicates that companies with women in leadership positions are 30% more likely to outperform others—suggesting that when women executives leverage flexible approaches, organizations benefit. The Flexible Leadership Framework for Women Executives To help women executives develop a flexible leadership mindset, Eikenberry introduces the Cynefin Framework (pronounced kuh-NEV-in) as a tool for making sense of different leadership situations: 1. Clear Contexts for Women Executives Situations where cause and effect are obvious, best practices exist, and processes are established. Traditional leadership approaches often work well here. 2. Complicated Contexts for Women Executives Scenarios requiring expertise but where systems remain fairly ordered. Women executives benefit from gathering diverse perspectives before making decisions. 3. Complex Contexts for Women Executives The most common leadership environment today—where interconnected factors create unpredictability. Women executives thrive here by testing approaches, learning quickly, and adapting. 4. Chaotic Contexts for Women Executives Rare crisis situations requiring immediate action. Women executives need to act decisively to stabilize the situation before transit...

When I first experienced the Cynefin Framework in an HBR article many years ago, I never tried to adapt it to my work until I interviewed Bryce Hoffman, author of American Icon and Red Teaming, a few years ago. While Bryce made the Cynefin Framework seem more understandable and accessible, Kevin Eikenberry has gone further to show leaders how to act when surrounded by varying problems they are trying to navigate with this sensemaking framework.Kevin has written nearly 20 books, and his newest title is Flexible Leadership which includes a better approach to holistic thinking, the Cynefin Framework and the use of flexors.

Send us a textIn this episode, Javi sits down with Marianne Davies to explore a fascinating blend of topics, from adventure sports and ecological coaching to the power of language and learning. They dive into how language shapes perception, the unique relationship between teaching and learning, and the role of affordance perception in high-risk environments.Marianne shares her experiences in equestrian sports, adventure coaching, and expedition leadership, emphasizing how outdoor challenges can reshape the way we think, learn, and coach—not just in sports, but in life. They discuss the importance of exploration for both kids and adults, the evolving landscape of coach education, and why less structure in training could unlock greater potential in athletes.Key Topics Discussed:✅ How language serves as a constraint and shapes perception ✅ The Welsh concept of “dusky” and how it connects teaching and learning ✅ How adventure sports develop skill and decision-making under real consequences ✅ The unstructured nature of adventure sports vs. traditional coaching ✅ Why adults need adventure experiences just as much as kids ✅ The role of affordance perception and risk in skill acquisition ✅ The future of coach development and shifting from assessment-based coaching ✅ The power of movement and perception beyond traditional sportsResources & Mentions:

Why do software gurus keep talking about the Cynefin Framework? What is it? How is it even pronounced? In this episode of Inspect & Adapt, Construx puts many brains on the topic with Mark Griffin, Jenny Stuart, Steve Tockey, and Earl Beede making the link between Cynefin and doing actual software development work. They cover where Cynefin is best applied and where this sense-making system just doesn't make sense.

As you will have heard in previous episodes for example with Ray Ison, Mette Böll and others, there is a lot of interest currently in systems thinking approaches in education as a key competency for our young people. But what systems thinking means once you scratch the surface is a question that we need to ask. And if we're supporting our young people (as well as teachers and leaders) to navigate complexity, Dave - from his background in Anthro-Complexity (https://cynefin.io/wiki/Anthro-complexity) - will definitely have something to say about that!  Dave is the creator of the Cynefin Framework (https://thecynefin.co/about-us/about-cynefin-framework/) and originated the design of SenseMaker®, the world's first distributed ethnography tool. He is the lead author of Managing complexity (and chaos) in times of crisis: A field guide for decision-makers, a shared effort between the Joint Research Centre (JRC), the European Commission's science and knowledge service, and the Cynefin Centre. He divides his time between two roles: founder and Chief Scientific Officer of The Cynefin Company and the founder and Director of the Cynefin Centre. His work is international in nature and covers government and industry looking at complex issues relating to strategy and organisational decision-making.  He has pioneered a science-based approach to organisations drawing on anthropology, neuroscience, and complex adaptive systems theory. Using natural science as a constraint on the understanding of social systems avoids many of the issues associated with inductive or case-based approaches to research.  Dave holds positions as an extraordinary Professor at the Universities of Pretoria and Stellenbosch as well as visiting Professor at the University of Hull. He has held similar positions at Bangor University, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Canberra University, the University of Warwick and The University of Surrey. He held the position of senior fellow at the Institute of Defence and Strategic Studies at Nanyang University and the Civil Service College in Singapore during a sabbatical period in Nanyang.

Jeder kennt sie: Die Pilotprojekte! Sie laufen immer perfekt: Die besten Leute, volle Unterstützung vom Management, und alle sind begeistert von den Ergebnissen. Doch sobald es auf breiterer Ebene umgesetzt wird, läuft es plötzlich schief. Warum ist das so? In dieser Folge schauen wir tiefer und hinterfragen, warum ihre Ergebnisse oft nicht skalierbar sind. Es liegt nicht nur an der Auswahl der besten Mitarbeiter oder am geschützten Rahmen – es steckt mehr dahinter: Jedes kleine Eingreifen verändert das System. Doch was bedeutet das für unseren Alltag? Außerdem knüpfen wir an das Cynefin Framework von Dave Snowden an, um zu zeigen, wie Experimente in komplexen Systemen durchgeführt werden sollten – und warum der Erfolg eines Projekts oft trügerisch sein kann.

Perhaps like us, you've occasionally wondered about whether there are better ways to make decisions. We've often done a quick pros and cons list for example! That's a pretty straightforward decision making model. But there are others. So in this episode we're exploring one of these, the Cynefin decision making model. See all the details and contribute to the discussion over at our blog. 

Today, my guest is Dave Snowden, a leading expert in complexity theory and knowledge management. Dave is the creator of the Cynefin Framework, which is a tool for understanding challenges and helping us make decisions within the right context. His work is international in nature. It covers government and industry, looking at complex issues relating to strategy and organizational decision-making. He is a popular and passionate keynote speaker on a range of topics, and he's well-known for his pragmatic cynicism - and you will hear that come through as you listen to this episode. I wish I had come across Dave's work earlier in my career because I think I'd have made some different career choices. In particular, his 2007 Harvard Business Review article with Mary Boone is excellent. It was on the cover of the November edition of the HBR and won the Academy of Management Award for Best Paper of that year. In this episode, we dive into the nuances of decision-making in complex environments. He walks us through the Cynefin Framework and how it helps us understand the challenges at hand. Dave shares insights into how organizations can avoid the pitfalls of traditional decision-making approaches that often oversimplify complex issues. We also explore the role of narrative in making sense of complexity and how his work with something called SenseMaker, supports capturing and interpreting diverse perspectives. If you're interested in how to navigate complexity and make better decisions in uncertain times, this episode is a must-listen.

Multi-Team Projektmanagement: Wasserfall notwendig oder Agilität möglich?Ein Projekt definiert sich u.a. durch die Einzigartigkeit. Etwas, was zuvor so noch nicht gemacht wurde. Je größer das einzelne Projekt ist, desto schwieriger ist es, dieses zu managen und den Erfolg zu sichern. Ein maßgeblicher Faktor der Komplexität stellt auch die Anzahl der involvierten Teams und Mitarbeiter dar. Zwar trägt jeder seinen Teil zum Projekt bei, aber jeder hat auch Fragen und Fortschritt zu reporten. Und all diese Fäden werden von einem Projektmanager/in zusammengehalten.Doch wie werden solche großen Multi-Team-Projekte gemanagt? Worauf kommt es an und was sind die größten Herausforderungen? Wie hält man alle Projektbeteiligten konstant auf dem aktuellen Stand, ohne jeden dauerhaft zu nerven? Wie viel muss bei solchen Projekten dokumentiert werden? Und wie stellt man eine gute Balance zwischen ständig ändernden Anforderungen und möglichen Overengineering sicher?Diese und weitere Fragen stellen wir unserem Gast Stephan Strack.Bonus: Wie viel Projektmanager werden benötigt, damit eine Frau ein Kind auf die Welt bringen kann?Das schnelle Feedback zur Episode:

The Cynefin Framework sets out different lenses through which circumstances can be made sense of, from 'clear' through to 'chaos'!  As we have covered on previous episodes of the show (CR020 & CR003), it is very useful for helping frame and understand the shift to “digital”.This week, Dave, Sjoukje, and Rob talk to Rob England and Cherry Vu, who are Teal Unicorn and explore new ways of management, about the relevance of the Cynefin Framework in their work with organisations, the builds Rob and Cherry have made on it (with Dave Snowden!), and what results they have seen.  We also talk about ways to drive additional value from the Cloud.TLDR:01:00 Anti-Compentative UK probe into Cloud Service Providers 04:40 Cloud conversation with Rob England and Cherry Vu44:13 Three actions to unlock greater Cloud Value51:50 Celebrating Robs 21st birthday and a Corporate Rebels write up!

Dave Snowden (Twitter, LinkedIn) is Founder and Chief Scientific Officer of The Cynefin Co. The Cynefin Co is "the world leader in developing management approaches (in society, government and industry) that empower organisations to absorb uncertainty, detect weak signals to enable sense-making in complex systems, act on the rich data, create resilience and, ultimately, thrive in a complex world". The Cynefin Framework is a decision support framework, a way of determining what method to adopt in this particular situation.Dave is a thorough-to-brusque practitioner and thinker using Complex Adaptive Systems (a dynamic network of interactions where the behaviour of the ensemble is not predictable from the components, and which is able to adapt to changing circumstances).Two key points I take from our conversation:-Don't focus on changing people (for which there is little evidence of success). Instead, focus on changing the connections people have with other people opens up more possibility for the whole assembly. -From a complexity view, the world is constantly changing and the information you have is partial. Better to be responsive to what's happening around you, rather than having aplan which will be immediately out of date.LinksProbably the most recent full explanation of the Cynefin Framework and how to us it is here. "Managing complexity (and chaos) in times of crisis. A field guide for decision makers inspired by the Cynefin framework" published by the EU. SenseMaker® is a distributed ethnographic approach to understanding a situation. By allowing respondents to give meaning to their own experience, it avoids the epistemic injustice of third-party of algorithmic interpretations. "SenseMaker® allows the powerful combination of vast amounts of data, with the rich context of narrative, based on the anecdotes of real people going about their real lives. Very importantly, SenseMaker® places the voices and interpretations of people at the centre, instead of privileging those in power."Camino de SantiagoTimings0:50 - Q1 What are you doing now?

If you want to know what kind of team culture really exists at a company, look very carefully at how product roadmaps are developed and executed. That, says Jenny Herald's guest on this episode of Dreams With Deadlines, is where you can see the “messy, bloody war” that may or may not be going on behind the scenes. Agile consultant Maarten Dalmijn, author of a forthcoming book about using sprint goals to deliver better products more efficiently, shares fascinating insights on project management and how to optimize it.Key things discussed Why agile software development isn't about delivering more stuff more quickly. How three common gaps in understanding, effort and results hobble projects. What the Cynefin Framework is and how to leverage its domains in managing complexity – along with chaos. Why less up-front planning and more adjustment along the way enables nimble project management and a quicker path to desired outcomes. Ways to identify and mediate opposing goals that can mire projects in constraint and micromanagement. The interplay between product goals, Scrums and OKRs. Show Notes [00:03:27] Diving into the “why” behind Maarten's decision to write his soon-to-be-published book – or any book – at this point in time. [00:04:30] What Scrum can look like (flexible and supportive of change) versus what people think it should be. [00:06:48] Why being agile is about more than just shipping more stuff faster. About Maarten's effort to define what makes a successful Scrum, the outputs that drive desired business and customer outcomes and obstacles commonly encountered. [00:08:57] "Succeeding with Sprint Goals: Empowering Teams with Better Ways of Delivering Value," which is forthcoming in May, is comprised of four parts. [00:09:32] Maarten shares in the book a personal story about a childhood exercise on a Dutch island that parallels the journey of discovery that is software development. [00:13:26] A closer look at the three gaps, a model originated by leadership strategist Stephen Bungay, including: The Knowledge Gap: What we know is less than we'd like to know. The Alignment Gap: What we're likely to do versus what we actually do. The Effects Gap: The difference between desired results and actual outcomes. [00:15:51] How to avoid getting lost in “the fog of beforehand,” which can result in overcompensation and analysis paralysis that constrains or slow decision-making. [00:18:28] Humble Planning: It's not about planning less. It's about reducing upfront planning in order to leave room for critical adjustments later in the project life cycle. [00:20:17] About Dave Snowden's Cynefin Framework, designed to help manage complexity (and chaos) in times of crisis – a sort of field guide for decision-makers. [00:21:19] Delineating the domains encompassed by the Cynefin model and how they apply in a software development context: Confusion Clear Complicated Complex Chaotic [00:23:40] Understanding self-imposed friction and how rigid plans can lead to massive breakdowns in desired business outcomes. [00:27:16] How opposing goals fracture teams and slow – if not defeat – mutually desirable results while team alignment (internally and with partners) supports success. [00:30:21] Navigating “Roadmap Hell” and how a traditional project management mindset yield binary, inflexible processes that create conflict and self-defeat. [00:32:45] Want to see how agile a company culture really is? Look at their mindset around road mapping – that's where business and IT really come together and reveal the turf wars and rigidity! [00:34:06] Teasing out Part II – the “beating heart” – of Maarten's book: Sprint Goals: They depend on a clear understanding of intent, what the team is trying to achieve and why it matters. It's key to integrate foundational sprint goals into every Scrum. OKRs have a role to play in helping to prevent or break the feature factory loop. [00:36:32] Understanding the interplay between product goals, Scrums and OKRs; how they fit together in multi-faceted ways with multiple protocols. [00:38:42] About applying North Star Metrics – when and how they work and the constellation of factors that can influence measures and strategic adjustments. [00:41:42] What happens when companies don't use sprint goals? It disempowers teams. It restricts information, understanding and decision-making ability. It reduces flexibility. It leads to technical debt and prioritizing speed over quality. [00:44:42] Quick-Fire Questions for Maarten: What is Your Dream with a Deadline? Finishing up his book secure in the knowledge that he has delivered what he intended – and then some! How do you define a good sprint goal? It includes everything in the acronym FOCUS: Fun, Outcome-oriented, Collaborative, Ultimate and Singular. What's the takeaway he most wants for those who read his book? More joy, a sense of empowerment, flexibility, freedom, less effort that yields more results!

Digitalisation in an inherently complex activity, with unknowns being very high and experimentation required on an ongoing basis - there is no 'once and done'.  The changes in leadership framing, decision making and ways of working required are hugely under estimated in discussions and planning of 'transformation' and failure to engage with that could risk your success.Dave, Sjoukje & Rob talk with Dave Snowden, Director and Founder of the Cynefin Centre about his work on making sense of complexity, they discuss Dave's seminal work, the Cynefin Framework, how he has subsequently built on that thinking and how you apply that it in the digitalisation process of your organisation.  His insights are not to be missed.Finally, in this weeks Trend, we set out some perceived wisdom of what is required in digital leadership and see what stacks up.TLDR:00:43 Intros01:21 Cloud conversation with Dave Snowden24:53 Six Tips For CEOs for Leading Digital Transformations  40:31 Wainwright walks!

She's probably best known for her groundbreaking 2011 book  titled, "Design for How People Learn," which still holds up as one of those first books you should read if you're getting started in instructional design. The second edition was published in 2015. She is also the founder and curator of UsableLearning.com.In this super practical and sometimes complex conversation, Julie and I talk about:

He is the creator of the Cynefin Framework, and originated the design of SenseMaker®, the world's first distributed ethnography tool. He is the lead author of Managing complexity (and chaos) in times of crisis: A field guide for decision makers, a shared effort between the Joint Research Centre (JRC), the European Commission's science and knowledge service, and the Cynefin Centre.He divides his time between two roles: founder Chief Scientific Officer of The Cynefin Company and the founder and Director of the Cynefin Centre.  His work is international in nature and covers government and industry looking at complex issues relating to strategy and organisational decision-making.  He has pioneered a science-based approach to organisations drawing on anthropology, neuroscience, and complex adaptive systems theory. By using natural science as a constraint on the understanding of social systems this avoids many of the issues associated with inductive or case-based approaches to research. This episode ranges widely across the path of his life and his ideas, aiming always at the core question of our time: how do we create the best conditions for a generative future we'd be proud to leave to future generations?  Dave is engaged in large-scale projects with, for instance, the NHS, and world governments to work out how to gather real information from people in ways that work and that can lead to generative outcomes. We explore ways to change the substrate of our culture, not by jamming new technology into the toxic niches of Facebook and Twitter, but by evolving new ways of engaging with each other that allow us to find the 'adjacent possible'  - the next best thing that we can do in any situation. If you want to connect more with the work that the Cynefin Company does, or to listen to aspects of Dave's work in more detail, please follow the links below. Dave's TED talkDave Snowden blogThe Cynefin Company

In this episode, Dale and Val talk to Dave about the additional elements of the Hexi approach and implementation guide for the Cynefin Framework and facilitation in your organisation. Following on from our previous discussion with Dave (Episode 83), Dave takes us on a linguistic trip of rhetoric and insight on his views about projects and how Hexi can be utilised. David John Snowden (born 1954) is a Welsh management consultant and researcher in the field of knowledge management and the application of complexity science. Known for the development of the Cynefin framework,[1] Snowden is the founder and chief scientific officer of Cognitive Edge, a Singapore-based management consulting firm specialising in complexity and sensemaking.[2] Dave is the Director of the Cynefin Centre, Chief Scientific Officer Cognitive Edge. Creator of the Cynefin Framework. Lead author EU Field Guide to managing in Complexity (and crisis). His focus is on naturalising sense-making as an emerging trans-disciplinary field of study.

In this conversation I connected with Sonja Blignaut. Originally a meteorologist, Sonja now partners with people who need to navigate, make sense of, and lead in uncertainty. She spans the boundaries of leadership, organisational development & change, strategy, risk, innovation, and marketing. In short, she works wherever there is complexity, which nowadays is more or less everywhere. Sonja is internationally recognised as an expert on Complexity, the Cynefin Framework, Waysfinding, and Complexity Fitness. She is certified in various individual and systemic coaching methods and a sought-after speaker, with experience at various conferences locally and internationally, including TedX. In this conversation we talked about crossing thresholds and the skills, capabilities, rituals, and mindsets are required to navigate transitions well?- inspired by this blog post that she shared recently that I'll link to in the show notes. That post starts with the following quote by John O'Donohue: “At any time you can ask yourself: At which threshold am I now standing? At this time in my life, what am I leaving? Where am I about to enter? What is preventing me from crossing my next threshold? What gift would enable me to do it?” So I started out by asking her, at what threshold she is now standing and how it makes her feel? Enjoy! ____ - The space of not knowing is where the growth happens - The hardest conversations we are avoiding the most are the ones with ourselves - The value of rituals in transitions and the need for containment - How much of my own life am I putting off until someday? - The time has come to cross - don't let your life flow by without noticing https://complexityfit.com/sonja-blignaut/ https://sonjablignaut.medium.com/crossing-thresholds-a109d1b2d392 https://www.weareliminal.co

In this week's pod, we were joined by Magnus Olsen to discuss career challenges, opportunities and trends - a student's perspective. Magnus has a background in the science of learning, having been a headmaster for a decade, managing organisations with complex stakeholder context. He has five years' experience as a strategy advisor in public management and is now an entrepreneur engaged in multiple start-ups including own his consultancy firm. Magnus has always been a student but for the last two years he been taking a life changing Master of Science in Project Management at Karlstad Business School in Sweden. The main topics we discussed on the podcast were as follows: We need to understand what technology will help us with on projects. It will not give us everything! Project Managers need sustainable working conditions in order to deliver more sustainable projects Higher education should aim to develop experiences for students by giving them more practical experiences before they join the workplace There may be trend towards universities offering shorter degrees and people re-training later in their careers to learn new skills to adapt to the ever changing workplace As a project manager, it is better to work in different industries in order to get the best experience to Use toolsets such as LinkedIn to build a network when starting out in the industry Start-ups are often the best companies to gain experience as a project manager as they may focus too much on the product rather than the business Knowledge isn't worth anything if you don't know how to use it. Find your tribe! Here are links to some of the topics we discussed: Magnus Olsen - Political Astuteness in Project Management: http://kau.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:1653426/FULLTEXT01.pdf Tune in next time when we're re-joined by Dave Snowden to talk about the hexi approach and what it means to Cynefin Framework.

In this conversation, Philip spends time with Dave Snowden, creator of the Cynefin Framework and Founder/Chief Scientific Officer of The Cynefin Company and the Founder/Director of the Cynefin Centre. In their wide ranging conversation they discuss how the Cynefin Framework applies to solving complex problems and how we make sense of the world around us.

The Cynefin framework was developed by David J. Snowden in 1999. It aims to help leaders understand that every situation is different and requires a unique approach to decision-making. The framework outlines five situational domains that are defined by cause-and-effect relationships. They are Obvious, Complicated, Complex, Chaotic, Disorder. Each of these domains has a specific decision-making approach that helps you make better sense of the situation, and choose the most appropriate way forward. This episode of Software Project Management podcast covers the description of Complex and Chaotic problem domains.

Today marks the end of year 15 on the Software Process and Measurement Cast, and we are closing the year with pitchfork and torches. We discussed the world of knowledge work in 2022. Leadership, principles, value, and values take center stage. Panels like this make me want to do panels every week!

Chapter 2 begins the heavy lifting of improving conversations. This is a chapter I strongly suggest reading at least twice while you are putting the ideas into practice. The authors spend the first part of the chapter building a case for why conversations are so powerful. The authors state that through conversation “we are able to create and believe in shared fictions.” There is a ton to think about and practice! My experiment of the week: First an update on my conversation experiment from last week. Last week I wanted to review my conversations to determine if I was correctly assessing scenarios using the Cynefin Framework. There was at least one conversation where I misjudged the complexity.  Whereas the participants viewed the scenario being discussed to be complicated (the solution being a framework or best practices), I viewed the scenario as complex or possibly chaotic.  The differences in mental models made the conversation tense and ungratifying. In my mind, my failure was not recognizing the issue until I was reviewing the conversation after the fact (one of the Four Rs in Chapter 2). I think a better approach, for me, will be to assess the complexity of the scenario before the conversion in the future. Perhaps a form of conversational premortem.  This week I am going to use the conversational analysis process on two or three different types of hard conversations – my weeks are always interesting. One of the areas I am interested in contemplating is whether different kinds of conversations have different question ratios.    https://amzn.to/3vEjr55  Week 1: Logistics and Introduction - https://bit.ly/3EZspxT  Week 2: Escaping The Software Factory - https://bit.ly/3HIlivg  Week 3: Improving Your Conversations - https://bit.ly/3ty0nYe    Next SPaMCAST  Next week we have an interview with Martin Foster. Mr. Foster and I wrestle with the question, “Why don't most agile transformations deliver tangible business value?”  A valuable start to year 16 and 2022!

If I seem perplexed on this one, then...... I am! Tried hard to cover up how confused I am at times but don't think I managed it. So glad to have Dave on the podcast. I'm fascinated by the Cynefin Framework and I loved this chat about complexity science, particularly Dave's talent for story telling. Hope you enjoy.

For years Dave Snowden has helped me understand how to navigate a complex world better than perhaps any other thinker. He draws so widely from all schools of thought in forming frameworks for sensemaking.This episode is expanding. It will be with me for a long time and I hope it stays with you, too. Read more at: https://www.originspodcast.co/episodes-1Show Notes:Complicated vs complex (08:00)Paul CilliersDynamics in Action Alicia Juarrero Lecture: "How not to manage complexity"The Patterning Instinct Jeremy Lent (16:00)Tropes in narrative theory (17:50)Assemblage and 'lines of flight' -- Gilles Deleuze (18:10)Jacques Derrida 'Aporia' (22:20)How the light gets in Festival (29:15)Flourishing Salons (29:40)Cynefin Framework (24:00 & 32:50)Nora Bateson Origins episode (37:00)Bateson-Snowden "When Meaning Loses Its Meaning" (37:00)Stacey Matrix (39:00)Daily routines (50:00)Hope (51:10)Hope in the Dark Rebecca SolnitTheology of Hope Jürgen MoltmannHope Without Optimism & Radical Sacrifice Terry EagletonKrista Tippet 'muscular hope'Lightning Round (55:30)Book: Spirit in the World Karl RahnerPassion: Walking and rugbyHeart Sing: New framework Screwed Up: senior leadership course at IBMFind Dave online:Twitter: @snowdedLinkedInThe Cognitive Edge (Dave's blog)Sensemaker ethnographic tool'Five-Cut Fridays' five-song music playlist series  Dave's playlist

We are drawn to patterns and recipes to help us solve problems in our work, but in reality, what works for one case does not always work for another. Many times when leaders apply their recipes to new environments, unexpected consequences emerge. Humans habitually leverage patterns almost exclusively, blinding us by our own intellectual biases. Developing a mindset that welcomes complexity science into our minds will unlock our ability to apply leadership skills to many types of situations. We believe there is something here to uncover. Dave Snowden, Founder of Cognitive Edge and inventor of the Cynefin Framework, joins us to discuss complexity and human nature. In this episode, we still explore the high-level nuances of complexity thinking and some of the language around Cynefin and Complexity. By the end of this episode, we hope you find enough value to explore Cynefin and Complexity Science independently. Related articles A leader's framework for decision making.

Do we give ourselves enough permission to not be OK when tackling issues? If you don't feel confused when tackling complex problems, you might not be doing it right. In this show we talk about the CYNEFIN Framework and how it might be used as a compass. A navigation tool for the system or terrain of the problem space. A guide for you to also make sense of your place in that system.

As a school or district leader, are you ready to tackle the Equity work needed to improve learning outcomes and engagement for the English Learners (ELs) in your school or district. Learn how one school system engaged their a multi-stakeholder workgroup to tackle this work to improve the instructional program for ELs. Check out a video about the Cynefin Framework and an blog about the Cynefin Framework to better' understand how you can make sense of complex change. By the way the name actually sound like the "Ke-ne-vian" framework and is derived from Welsh. Remember to keep learning and leading to become "the change that you want to see in the world"!

"Se l'unica cosa che hai è un martello inizierai a trattare tutto come se fosse un chiodo”.Quale significato può avere quest'espressione? Quanto ci potrebbe aiutare avere una "cassetta degli attrezzi" più assortita e affrontare i problemi con uno approccio diverso? Grazie al Cynefin Framework perlustreremo nuovi modi di osservare la realtà e perché no ragionare in maniera più efficace, come sempre, con un sorriso e tanta curiosità.

Cathy is a former international economist and policy adviser turned three principles coach. For over twenty years she was an advisor to governments and international organisations around the world, including seven years as a development economist in Southern Africa.In her mid-40s, she left a job she loved for reasons she cannot describe. Having previously dipped into the teachings of Michael Neill, it took a challenge from a mastermind partner to prompt her to take another look at coaching. She went on to train in Micheal Neill's Supercoach Academy and today works with clients in leadership roles and in the arena of social change.In this episode, we talk about:Why we lose our way when we talk about politics.The joy of making it up. How she structures her coaching packages and the great freedom of making it up as you go along.Listening for signals. And, the paradoxical nature of it. How determining what to pay attention to and what to ignore really comes back to the question of ‘Am I being my higher self?'.The things we get too attached to: our lived experience, the personal nature of creation and worshipping the god of intellect.Plus, the age-old debate about which way the forks go in the dishwasher - when it matters and when it really doesn't. And, the simplicity at the heart of parenting how its really just about pouring love on your child..For more information about Cathy, visit: www.cathypresland.comFor information about Robbie's wider work and writing, visit www.robbieswalecoaching.com.For more information on the new training from Marcia Reynolds (the guest in Episode #14), which Robbie mentioned in the introduction, visit https://coach.wbecs.com/Marcia-Reynolds/a182301Music by My Good Man William: listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4KmeQUcTbeE31uFynHQLQgThings we talked about that you might find interesting:~18: Dave Snowden's Cynefin Framework: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cynefin_framework~32: Michael Neill: https://www.michaelneill.org/~42: Michael Neill Training programmes: https://www.michaelneill.org/sci/~44: Syd Banks: http://sydbanks.com/~45: The Three Principles: https://3pgc.org/~1.05: Jonathan Haidt: https://jonathanhaidt.com/~1.05: Jonathan Haidt's The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Righteous-Mind-Divided-Politics-Religion/dp/0141039167~1.05: Jonathan Haidt's The Coddling of the American Mind: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Coddling-American-Mind-Intentions-Generation/dp/0141986301/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=the+coddling+of+the+american+mind&qid=1601048128&s=books&sr=1-1~1.06: Jonathan Haidt Quote: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/645384-morality-binds-and-blinds-it-binds-us-into-ideological-teams~1.09: Jordan Hall: https://www.youtube.com/c/JordanGreenhall/featured~1.26: Rich Litvin: https://richlitvin.com/~1.45: Robert Holden quote: https://tendingjoy.com/blogs/tending-joy/god-spoke-today-in-flowers~1.52: The War of Art by Steven Pressfield: https://www.amazon.co.uk/War-Art-Through-Creative-Battles/dp/1936891026~1.52: Robert Holden: https://www.robertholden.com/~1.54: Celtic Goddess/Sovereignty article: http://dangerouswomenproject.org/2016/11/15/the-dangerous-women-of-irish-;mythology/~2.01: The Inside-Out Revolution by Michael Neill: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Inside-Out-Revolution-Thing-Change-Forever/dp/1781800790~2.01: The Space Within by Michael Neill: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Space-Within-Finding-Your-Back/dp/1781806489/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=michael+neill&qid=1600694112&s=books&sr=1-4~2.01: Michael Neill's Supercoach Academy: http://www.supercoachacademy.com/~2.02: The Three Principles YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaY2LdDLITzIlszwA8ubVxg

As students return to campus it is important to recognize the dynamic environment we will all experience in the coming weeks. Individual and organization success depends on our ability to adapt to shifting and changing situations. Join hosts Andy and Garrett for a discussion about identifying the context of your organization using the Cynefin Framework. Also, hear how guests Jenna and Perry from the student-run Peace and Justice Council at Gettysburg College are rethinking their leadership styles for the upcoming year.

In this episode, we have a Boundaryless Conversation with John Robb, the owner and principal analyst for the monthly Global Guerrillas Report, that covers the intersection of War, Politics, and Technology.  Its goal is to provide people with the frameworks needed to make sense of our relentlessly chaotic world. In other words, John helps people think clearly at a time when that kind of help is in short supply.   In our conversation with John, we explore how the rapid power shifts we're witnessing towards open source, and self-organizing networks are going to change the way we organize society and the economy. We touched upon the fact that the emergent future of organizing may not disrupt or obsolete the existing markets, but rather coexist, and that there's no way we can get away with ignoring the question concerning technology as society literally "becomes a technological artefact" as John said.
