People often forget that Cynefin is a dynamic framework, and that the system states in Cynefin are dynamic and things move between them. The liminal zones between domains are transformational. Here we are a

At its most basic, Cynefin allows us to distinguish between three different kinds of systems: ordered systems that are governed and constrained in such a way that cause and effect relationships are either clear or discoverable through analysis; complex systems where causal relationships are entangled and dynamic and the only way to understand the s

Cynefin acknowledges that these different systemic contexts exist in parallel, and in that way avoids creating false dichotomies and polarization.

Cynefin is all about boundaries. In that way, it reflects human systems such that knowing where the boundaries are between specific contexts are critical to our meaning-making, identity structures, and ability to relate to each other. Cynefin’s boundaries help us to know what kind of systemic context we find ourselves in, and when we are transition
