Sharing a few thoughts from today’s #Cynefin21 webinar with @snowded and key influencers ...
An anomaly is a violation of expectancy. The analytical community using it to describe outliers diminished the term. @KleInsight#Cynefin21
Stickiness (cohesiveness) can create a sand dune, but not a sand castle. For that you need coherence (mutual interdependent constraints). Alicia Juarrero #Cynefin21
We have words for form, but not for function (eg morphology but there is no such word as functionology). A lack of words to describe something indicates a lack of curiosity. - Pierpaolo Andriani #Cynefin21
Pressure (eg COVID19) creates a ‘pull’ type of #exaptation where we grasp at anything potentially useful. It is not sufficient for real discovery eg of entirely new categories of functions. Constraints are key for that. - Pierpaolo Andriani #cynefin21
Key question: Is the level of granularity of society too coarse for it to have adaptive capacity? Is it necessary to split apart into smaller parts in order to recombine again in different ways? @snowded#Cynefin21
We need to reconnect with the true value of Homo Ludens and break out of the stuck dynamic between Homo Sapience & Homo Faber. We need to put play and imagination back into the system. - Ann Pendleton-Jullian #Cynefin21

Some of the ideas that struck me during our webinar last week with @jgberger, Eliat Aram and Mary Uhl-Bien ..
"Leaders are condition creators. Leaders create and shapes contexts in a complex world. Our role now is to figure out how to nurture life-giving contexts that support the leadership of all of the actors in that system." - @jgberger
Leaders work at the interface of finding authority from within (self-authorising) in the context of the group/collective and formal authority and power structures. - Eliat Aram
A few key insights from today’s webinar on Vector Theory of Change with @snowded : vectors allow you to make mistakes and self-correct. Fixed goals and KPI’s don’t. #VectorChange
Map the present; find adjacent possibles ... if there are no adjacent possibles, map and experiment with constraints to see if you can create some #VectorChange@snowded
Don’t start a change journey without a map ... you may soon find yourself in quicksand ... Map first, then choose the nature and direction of the journey #VectorChange@snowded
