Cynefin

Cynefin
The various domains of the Cynefin model. Cynefin /ˈkʌnɨvɪn/ is a Welsh word, which is commonly translated into English as 'habitat' or 'place', although this fails to convey its full meaning. The term was chosen by the Welsh scholar Dave Snowden to describe a perspective on the evolutionary nature of complex systems, including their inherent uncertainty ("The Cynefin framework"). The name serves as a reminder that all human interactions are strongly influenced and frequently determined by our experiences, both through the direct influence of personal experience, as well as through collective experience, such as stories or music. The framework provides a typology of contexts that guides what sort of explanations or solutions might apply. It draws on research into complex adaptive systems theory, cognitive science, anthropology, and narrative patterns, as well as evolutionary psychology, to describe problems, situations, and systems.

Cynefin framework and software code Recently I read some article about Cynefin framework, it is really inspiring. As the diagram shows, cynefin framework categorize the problems in to 4 domains: simplecomplicatedcomplexchaotic For different domain, the approach and strategy are quite different. Knowledge Management on Twitter: Who to Follow Twitter is increasingly a popular way to connect with experts across a variety of fields. Finding the people you know is easy enough, but how do you discover people who are actively tweeting about the topics you’re interested in? For me, I’m interested in a number of subjects, but of particular interest is the field of knowledge management — helping connect people to share and leverage knowledge and expertise.

Three Cynefin Ahas Over the last year I’ve been increasingly influenced by ideas from Cynefin , created by Dave Snowden of Cognitive Edge . If you want a good introduction, Liz Keogh recently blogged a good explanation . I’ve realised that there are 3 key changes in my thinking, some completely new, and some reinforced by a better understanding of cognitive complexity. None of these are unique to Cynefin, and Cynefin contains much more. This list is my take, rather than any official list, although if you know Dave’s work I’m sure you’ll recognise a lot of the language! 1.

Nick Milton shared an interesting blog post a few days ago “Social media will destroy the value in KM – discuss”. In it he looked at some of the ways that social media is undermining knowledge management and some of the risks it can pose to management of organizational knowledge management efforts. I shared some of his concerns, but I think that social media also has a lot to offer for knowledge exchange. But it also requires us to think a little differently about what knowledge management is and how to go about it.

Value Streams are Made of People Note by Al Shalloway: I’m happy to present this blog from Liz Keogh. Liz is one of these out-of-the-box thinkers who somehow manages to connect many disparate dots. Here she deals with value streams, but not in your normal, in-the-box manner. Enjoy.

The university will be adopting Cayuse 424 and Cayuse SP from Evisions to reengineer the administration processes for research by automating much of the data transfer between the new software and an existing Ellucian Banner Finance module. Cayuse 424 is intended to simplify the work of creating and submitting federal grant proposals.

2013 Top 100 Influencers in #KM – Knowledge Management In an effort to chart the power nodes in the social graph of various technology industry disciplines, MindTouch has a history of researching and producing a list of influencers. This began as an internal project to understand sectors important to MindTouch and since 2009 MindTouch has published these reports to the advantage of the community at large. Last week we shared our internal annual report of Techcomm influencers that we produced using LittleBird. This year, MindTouch also analyzed Knowledge Management influencers. Impact, Outcome and Output As I alluded to in the previous post , one of the changes in thinking, and in particular language, for me recently is the idea of impact . Specifically that impact is different from outcome which is itself different from output. I’ve differentiated outcome from output for some time, as have others, but I believe impact is a further step in understanding how we approach change.

Share-PSI 2.0 Home Welcome Share-PSI 2.0 is the European network for the exchange of experience and ideas around implementing open data policies in the public sector. It brings together government departments, standards bodies, academic institutions, commercial organisations, trade associations and interest groups to identify what does and doesn't work, what is and isn't practical, what can and can't be expected of different stakeholders. The impetus for the Share PSI 2.0 Thematic Network is the revised European Directive on the Public Sector Information. This revises and increases the obligations on European Union member states to make their publicly funded data available at zero or, at most, marginal cost. Noting the work of the LAPSI project, which is concerned with legal aspects of Public Sector Information, this project focuses on the practical and technical challenges.

Knowledge Management as Educational Science Knowledge Management as Educational Science Our brains naturally function systematically, and if we can learn to teach and learn to this biological strength we can become far more effective. Image provided by Walter Smith. Can we create a science of knowledge management that teachers can use to influence learning? In the previous seven articles, I have outlined a system of knowledge management that can be used to design, manage and implement a comprehensive model of education. 3 Keys to Career Success: The Pieces of PIE How well you do your job has very little to do with how successful you are in your professional career. Or, more precisely, how well you do your prescribed work will account for about 10% of your overall success. That’s according to Harvey Coleman in his book Empowering Yourself, The Organizational Game Revealed . Briefly stated, Coleman asserts that career success is based on the 3 key elements of Performance, Image and Exposure (a.k.a. PIE): Performance : this is about the day-to-day work you’re tasked with and the quality of the results you deliver.
