Ep. 79: Dave Snowden, how to make sense of a complex world?
Our guest today is the methodologist and the creator of the Cynefin Framework, Dave Snowden. He is renowned for his work addressing complex situations in strategy and organizational decision-making
across government and industry, pioneering a science-based approach that draws on anthropology, biology, neuroscience, and complex adaptive systems theory.
In this podcast, Karsten discusses with him the origin of the Cynefin Framework. They also talk about the aspects of entanglement and the metaphor of an estuary which is supposed to help understand it. He explains how sense-making works in organizational settings as well as in peace negotiations in Colombia and discusses the
limitations of traditional system thinking. He also explains how actions can be derived from his theories, what "North Atlantic Thinking" is, that Wales is really a matriarchy, and how Caravaggio's paintings have inspired his thinking.
