This is the first time I"ve seen Dave Snowden and I'm very pleased you posted the video Harold.

His snapshot overview of the Cynefin framework was so useful for me. I've read Getting to Maybe and have complexity thinking in my own kit bag of ways to figure out and make sense of things. I will need to play this video more than once as it is so applicable to many situations I have with groups I work with.

I'm starting work with a client that is wanting to move their organization into social media activities and they are getting my message that social learning is an integral part of this transition. They want me to find examples of best practices to ensure that where they go, others have traveled before and they won't get lost in space or fall over a cliff. (Isn't Gene Roddenberry cool) My gut was telling me that knowing what others have done, just doesn't apply when you move into unknown territory.

After this video, I have a better handle on talking about best and good practice as well as the risk of free falling into crisis if you maintain a simple lens for figuring out where you are.

Well done Harold,
Brent
