I have long been fascinated by complexity science and have closely followed Dave Snowden‘s work for many years and, more recently, the work of Ralph Stacey and Patricia Shaw. I’m particularly interested in relating complexity to conversation and Conversational Leadership. For example, the Cynefin Framework can be used not only to aid decision-making but also to gain insight into the dynamics of conversations.
Although it’s still in its early stages, I am developing a chapter on complexity for my blook. It’s not intended to delve into great depth; rather, it’s meant to be an introduction and serve as a resource for me and anyone interested in understanding this crucial topic better. As I mentioned, it’s still in its early days, and most of the material is a work in progress. Some parts still need refinement.
We live in an increasingly complex world where traditional ways of thinking are not only outdated but potentially dangerous. It’s crucial for us all to grasp at least the basics of complexity.
If you’re new to the subject, I encourage you to explore the subject further. Many of my resources help clarify fundamental concepts, as the terminology in this field is often quite obscure.
