A little over two months ago I wrote a post summarising the previous year’s blog posts. This proved useful to several readers but also to me and so I resolved to timetable a similar task every couple of months. I’m back to my normal pace of writing 5/6 times a week hence not waiting a […]
Lilia Efimova interviewed me sometime ago about my use of blogs for her thesis. She has just published the results of the interview here. Her other interviews are here.
A tweet from John Tropea altered me to this article in Scientific American on the therapeutic value of blogging. I’m not sure about some of the quotes however.

So I’m en route to San Jose to run a two day workshop for a tech giant on narrative as communication, plus three shorter sessions for the C suite on Friday. I’m also feeling guilty as I haven’t posted here for over a month. A technical upgrade to the the web site gave me some […]
I had a whole series of blog posts mapped out to fill in the month gap since my last posting but there just hasn't been the time. So while I will put in some backfill ones for the record I resolved on arrival early this morning in Singapore that I need to just write something […]
It's been a long week without my Macbook, but I finally have it back and everything set up and working with a 1Tb hard disk that should give me a year or so before I need to buy a new machine. I couldn't resolve MacBook Pro Retina, v Air without and I suspect a whole […]
I promised in my last post that I would talk more about coherence as a part of my development of a sub-model for the complex domain of Cynefin. As previously outlined I am exploring this publicly via the blog and appreciate all the feedback received so far. In a future post (probably next week) I […]
I’m pleased to say that I managed to reestablish the habit of daily blogging through July. OK i cheated on a few days in changing the date but I operated on a simple heuristic – as long as it was that day somewhere in the world it was valid to use it. It was a […]
The Cynefin Company (formerly known as Cognitive Edge) was founded in 2005 by Dave Snowden. We believe in praxis and focus on building methods, tools and capability that apply the wisdom from Complex Adaptive Systems theory and other scientific disciplines in social systems. We are the world leader in developing management approaches (in society, government and industry) that empower organisations to absorb uncertainty, detect weak signals to enable sense-making in complex systems, act on the rich data, create resilience and, ultimately, thrive in a complex world.
