Gurteen Knowledge Blog April 15, 2024, 09:58. In a recently updated post in my blook, I explain how Dave Snowden’s concept of safe-to-fail probes addresses the challenges of managing unpredictable, complex systems where traditional linear problem-solving is likely to fail. Large-scale interventions can be risky in complex environments where cause and effect are only apparent in hindsight—Snowden … Continue reading Navigating Complexity with Safe-to-fail Probes Dave Snowden
Organizations often rely heavily on a single contractor to deliver critical outcomes. While traditional, this approach concentrates risk and limits innovation. Distributed funding offers a more innovative alternative: it spreads resources across multiple contractors or projects to encourage experimentation, reduce failure impact, and scale successes based on proven results.

Traditional change management methods, with their rigid plans and fixed outcomes, often struggle in today’s complex, unpredictable environments. Dave Snowden’s Vector Theory of Change offers a more adaptable solution by focusing on setting a broad direction (vector) rather than a specific goal.
