Time: 40 Min
Cynefin was introduced 20 years ago and is a very powerful framework to make sense of our complex world. But unlike Scrum, it has not enjoyed the same popularity. We believe this is could be partially due to the fact that Cynefin is not as accessible and easy to understand. We have personally struggled to introduce the principles and practises related to Cynefin in organisations in the past. The LEAT® Cynefin module makes it now possible to experience Cynefin and make the principles far easier to introduce and comprehend than ever before.
