The Use of the Cynefin Model for Innovation Management

The Use of the Cynefin Model for Innovation Management

The Cynefin Framework is valuable for managing innovation, as it categorizes the domains in which innovation takes place, identifies appropriate practices and constraints, and recognizes the complexity of innovation as a system. The framework includes the Ordered Systems of Obvious and Complicated, Complexity, Chaos, and the middle ground of Disorder. Each domain requires different practices, expertise, and a mindset accordingly. Innovation in the Ordered Systems is more straightforward, while innovation in the Complex and Chaotic domains is more emergent and requires more diverse opinions, collaboration, experience, and discovery. The Cynefin Framework helps to explore the relationship between man, experience, and context for innovation.
