All seven Cynefin Co. frameworks

Cynefin is just one of seven frameworks used by the Cynefin Co. to understand and work with complexity. Here is the complete list at present, left here for posterity:

• The Cynefin Framework
• Estuarine Framework and Estuarine Mapping
• Flexuous Curves Framework (originally Apex Predator) 
• The Uncertainty Matrices – emphasise various forms and levels of knowability
• 3 As, Agency, Affordance and Assemblage – critical tools for change
• ASHEN – designed for KM, adopted for leadership and understanding organisations
• AIMS – what you can manage in a complex system: Actants, Interactions, Monitors, and Scaffolding
• The WRAS(SE) framework – it adds a critical human lens to the Cynefin ecosystem, helping organisations understand how people react under stress and ambiguity, and how those reactions shape outcomes, often more than formal plans or structures.

The links take you to the entries on Dave Snowden’s blog or to the Cynefin wiki, where methods and frameworks are developed and documented by practitioners.
