David Snowden's Cynefin Framework: A Swimming Analogy
The Cynefin framework categorizes issues as simple, complicated, complex, or chaotic. Simple issues are akin to a toddler's pool where actions are clear and predictable. Complicated issues are compared to Olympic swimming, focusing on efficiency and precise actions. Chaos equates to a storm at sea, with unpredictable and overwhelming factors; the focus is on reaching land quickly. Complexity is like surfing, harnessing the energy of the wave to achieve high speed with minimal effort. Applying this analogy to work, one should look for opportunities to 'ride the wave' and let it do the majority of the work, while focusing on steering and putting in the necessary effort.
