Cynefin:  A Framework For Thinking

Cynefin is a Welsh word for the place you are from: for your habitat. But it means much more than that. It means the many the layers of identify that makeup who you are. These comprise place but also language, family, tribe, village, all the ties that bind you to a sense of your self and all the complexity through which you have to navigate that identity. It is the name for a framework for thinking about change, a tool for analysis which is especially useful in the energy industry.
