Dave Snowden always emphasises the need for numerous small projects instead of one big project, either focused on resolving immediate issues or changing the substrate or energy gradient of the system. One of his quotes about #complexsystems is, “The only way to scale a #complex system is by decomposition to the lowest level of coherent granularity (LCCG) and then allowing recombination; not repetition or aggregation.” Investing time in reading the following two blog posts by Dave Snowden about Granularity and Anthro-Complexity would be a valuable way to understand these terms: Granularity, abstraction & coherence Series one 👉 https://lnkd.in/eCMybdks Series Two

#Cynefin Method – The Anthro-Complexity The 21st Century school of Anthro-Complexity is an associated body of theory and practice which draws on natural science informed philosophical thinking (including, but not limited to, #complex adaptive systems theory) in order to address questions of “how humanity makes sense of this world in order to act within it?” The praxis of #complexity in human systems: Anthro-Complexity is a way of framing the ordinary, everyday landscape of human interaction. As such, the domain is rooted in the sense-making realms within which ordinary people, everywhere, have always navigated (and may always continue to navigate) their

Triads are one of our core signifiers in our SenseMaker® designs. They explore the tension/balance between three interrelated concepts in a person’s experience. A participant is asked to drag the marker onto a space on the triangle where they feel their story sits. These signifiers increase the cognitive load on a respondent; avoiding an automatic or “correct” answer and instead encouraging a deeper reflection on the stories they have shared. Answering a triad may be very new to most people. Therefore, we can provide static images or GIFs of a triad example that can form part of the #SenseMaker design
