Decision-making tool: Cynefin framework
Hey, Adam from Untools here.
Today I'm bringing you a new decision-making tool: the Cynefin framework.
To get the most pressing question out of the way: it's pronounced /kəˈnɛvɪn/ - "kuh-nev-in" and it's a Welsh word for "habitat".
You might've heard about it as it's a fairly popular framework. It's about making sense of different problems or situations and choosing the right response.
The framework identifies five domains to categorize problems or situations: obvious, complicated, complex, chaotic and disorder. The idea is to identify which domain you're in and then choose the appropriate action based on its characteristics.
Learn more about each domain and how to use it:
