The Knevin framework: a simple tool to understand complex systems
The podcast episode features guests David Snowden and Mary Boone, who discuss the Knevin framework, a tool for understanding complex systems. The Knevin framework categorizes systems into five contexts: simple, complicated, complex, chaotic, and disorder. The framework emphasizes the importance of understanding the present state of a system before planning for the future. It challenges the traditional notion of leadership development and emphasizes the need to change interactions rather than trying to change individuals. The guests also discuss how the Knevin framework can be applied to fields such as culture mapping, crisis management, mental health, and conflict resolution. They highlight the value of narrative-based reflection and peer-to-peer learning in leadership development.
