Dave’s Thinking: Focus day 💡 In the context of approaches to #strategy 💡 Dave Snowden has talked about maps and mapping a lot over the years. the process of strategy we are talking about maps, and the use of maps to navigate a partially charted future. So the way things follow this sequence: 1. Map the constraints, ideally using SenseMaker® for mass participation but one can also do it in a workshop. 2. Determine which constraints are acting as counterfactuals, and then map the degree of impossibility (energy, time etc) required to change them. Ideally, you would do this from

The landscape of #Narrative! We’ll delve into the triangle of distributed #ethnography, sense-making, and narrative practice. Get ready to embark on an exciting journey with the Narrative BaseCamp as we delve into: 🌟 Narrative in anthro-complexity and its key, but often invisible role in human cognition, pattern-seeking and recognition, and #decisionmaking. 🌟 Understand narrative’s power as a form of communication, a form of knowledge sharing and storage, and a research tool. 🌟 Deductive, inductive and abductive #research and logic and how these different approaches link to the #Cynefin framework in their bounded applicability. 🌟 Explore the organisational transformative methods that

Our next global #community of #complexity, Cynefin and SenseMaker® practitioners events list and latest Quarterly Meetup with Dave Snowden & Friends: Agency & Identity recordings (1 Hour) 👇 🌟 In this Meetup, we focused on Agency & Identity, which was part of the 3As typology of Assemblages, Affordances, and Agency. We continued to explore these 3As in the context of Estuarine Mapping, and how we could apply them in practical and tangible ways. We shared and discussed real-world examples to make these concepts practical. The three perspectives were: 👉 Agency: Who or what could make decisions or have the freedom

Customer experiences as #narrative landscapes! A company sees customer experience as the make or break for succeeding at a brand transformation or a brand change initiative. Most if not all of my introductory conversations emphasize that SenseMaker® is a narrative or engagement-driven solution that uses technology to aid in scalability as well as to facilitate wider and deeper scanning….The experience was shared by Michael Cheveldave a long time ago. 🌟 So thinking about customer experience, if you engage your employees widely in observing and noticing the #customerexperience in fragmented moments as they occur on a day-to-day and week-to-week basis, and

Most of our work crosses disciplinary spaces, from #health, to #citizenengagement, human rights, culture and beyond – really embracing the essence of #complexity. But one thing that cuts across is our desire to make meaningful and positive change in the communities around us. So we always get excited when we see #SenseMaker together with the words “to inform intersectoral, advocacy and community action.” We want to take the opportunity to highlight this work by ✨ The Illuminate Project, Denise Campbell-Scherer, Yvonne Chiu and co, who chose SenseMaker so that they could collect mixed-methods, real-time data as part of participatory action

An in-depth overview of the Estuarine Framework workshop with Dave Snowden by Tom Kerwin, which remains valuable to the following. Let’s delve into a few key points. 🌟 In the Estuarine Framework, we use metaphors to arrive at the situation obliquely and increase the range of perspectives we view the situation. The use of metaphor also increases the #cognitive load in the participants, which breaks us out of our usual patterns of thinking. The process creates a very large number of data points at a fine granularity, so nobody’s able to see the big picture. This stops premature convergence. ✨

A proven Sensemaker® experience shared by Anna Panagiotou… and you can enjoy the SenseMaker® Engagement Demonstrator through the link below.👇 🌟 What #Sensemaker did for me was offer a lens to see and understand things not as isolated entities, but in the context of relationships. With its emphasis on recording micro-narratives, micro-experiences, and micro-decisions, it immediately struck me that Sensemaker® offered something I had never seen in a #survey before—context. 🌟 Context is a significant factor. Sensemaker® always operates within the context of ✨ what you are trying to make sense of; it’s not about providing a broad opinion. Instead,

Celebrating 19 Years of #Innovation: A Journey Beyond Time. 🌟 How does the Sensemaker® platform differ from #survey platforms or similar tools? 👉 Beth Smith: “For me, the biggest USP of SenseMaker® is the shift in power and paradigm through enabling the respondent to ‘self-signify’ i.e. they reflect on their own story and self analyse it. This is a huge difference both in terms of the democratisation of how #research is carried out and the role of the respondent as ✨ a subject of the research rather than an object of the research, but also from the point of view

#Patientsafety cannot, therefore, be seen as just a goal; it is a continuous journey of understanding, adapting, reflecting, and improving. Patient safety is a topic that has evolved with increasing awareness of the complexity of health and #patients journeys (WHO, 2019). Arguably, everyone within the complex adaptive system of a #healthcare team operates with patient safety in mind. At The Cynefin Company, we believe in navigating the intricate pathways of healthcare with a unique approach rooted in narrative observations from multiple perspectives. By making the invisible visible we take a participatory approach to sense-making and awareness-building to support decision-makers at
