I’m finishing off my entry for the Sage Encyclopaedia of Action Research on organisational storytelling. It has been interesting to summarise a broad field into a low word count without references (although there is a reading list). One aspect which will amuse me next year is that I can cite it for the entry on […]
I’m pleased to be invited as a guest blogger! I actually don’t know many of the other insightful bloggers here, which is a shame since there are so many interesting ideas. I stay holed up in East Africa running the GlobalGiving Storytelling Project and doing whatever it takes to turn >13,000 stories into meaningful community […]
In this second post, I promised to describe the AIMS framework fully, and in doing that, I will also bring in ASHEN in an integrated frame with one of the critical parts of Estuarine Mapping. I first referenced this on the blog in January, but I had already started to use and develop it several […]

There will be a few context-setting memories before I get to the point in today’s post, so feel free to go straight to the sub-heading if you want to avoid them. I spent a fair amount of time in Philadelphia during my IBM days for several reasons. I worked as a minor advisor to Jan […]
My last post took the general position that acumen in human systems is not just an individual quality but is also linked to empathy and can be executed collectively, often without conscious direction. It really can’t be encompassed by an algorithm. But network intelligence has to be engendered, which means creating the substrate, enabling connection […]
At the end of each episode of In Our Time, there is an additional few minutes for podcast listeners which always starts with Melvyn Bragg asking his guests what aspects of the topic they would have liked to cover but were missed. So I thought I would do the same at the end of this […]
So Tolkien started the idea of a three-volume fantasy series, something that has been much copied since. Over time, as people developed complete universes with a broader range of characters the number of volumes increased and they became addictive. Game of Thrones is an obvious example of this and there the demands of the Television […]
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.
