DESCRIPTION
This presentation offers a consistent metaphor to help the assimilation of the Cynefin Framework and its components consisting of Simple, Complicated, Complex, Chaos and Disorder domains. Understanding the Framework should make it easier to outline a suitable strategy for each domain. Instituting mental order by expressing what is central heralds the most creative works. This is in accordance with the findings that many valuable innovations are brought about through an ‘order emerging from chaos’ type of principle, without any specific problem to solve being outlined initially. For this reason, aspects of complexity theory have been looked at in addition to the motivational factors that drive innovation where it has not been asked for specifically (http://www.bath.ac.uk/idmrc/themes/projects/cbdo/DT-Project-TRIZComplex.pdf).

A Creative Metaphorfor ComplexityAli Anani, PhD
Many people are confused with complexity and shy off from it
Strangely, complexity arises from SIMPLE rules. However; people are finding it difficult to grasp
Complex Complicated
SimpleChaos
One easy way of explaining complexity
is through the useof Cynefin Framework
I believe one reason for experiencing the difficulty in understanding Cynefin is the use of different examples to explain its domains
How about finding varieties of the same example to explain it?
Complex Complicated
SimpleChaos
We know which key fits which lock
Complex Complicated
SimpleChaos
We know which key fits which lock
We know we have the right keys and locks, but we have to inspect and try to fit each key to its lock
Complex Complicated
SimpleChaos
We know which key fits which lock
We know we have the right keys and locks, but we have to inspect and try to fit each key to its lock
We aren’t sure which which for a lock, but we watch out for patterns to match them
Complex Complicated
SimpleChaos
We know which key fits which lock
We know we have the right keys and locks, but we have to inspect and try to fit each key to its lock
We aren’t sure which which for a lock, but we watch out for patterns to match them
We have the wrong keysfor the locks
Complex Complicated
SimpleChaos
You have the right keys to the lock.
The keys are procedures and best practices
You have to analyze to find which key for each lock
There are repeating patterns for keys and locks which you have to find
You have keys andlocks that don’t match
Imagine if you were in the chaos domain.You have the wrong keys and locksWhat to do?
You have to move out of this situation soonest; else shall go out of control
Complex Complicated
SimpleChaos
The two options available are either to move to simple or complex
The two options available are either to move to simple or complex
Complex Complicated
SimpleChaos
We follow this path if we find simple rules embedded in chaos
The two options available are either to move to simple or complex
Complex Complicated
SimpleChaos
Mostly, we have to follow this path
The two options available are either to move to simple or complex
We follow this path if we find simple rules embedded in chaos
We need to identify repeating pattern through:Probe-sense- Respond
Complex Complicated
SimpleChaos
Mostly, we have to follow this path
The two options available are either to move to simple or complex
We follow this path if we find simple rules embedded in chaos
Just imagine how best you would identify patterns or new paths so that you fall in the complex domain
Do what ants doThey diverge to look for new sources of food and then converge once a new path has been identified
Look for new ideas till you identify a new path or pattern to help you find the right key for the right lock
I hope this presentation helps you find the right key for the right lock
