Introduction

The Cynefin framework is a decision-making tool developed by Dave Snowden, which helps to classify problems into different domains based on their complexity. The five domains are simple, complicated, complex, chaotic, and disordered. The framework is designed to help leaders determine the most appropriate approach to problem-solving, depending on the type of problem they are facing.
