Cynefin Framework

When to use it

When the same approach fails in different contexts.

How to use it

Distinguish clear causality, analysis, exploration and loss of control, then adapt your response.

A real-life example

Analyze recurring equipment faults; trial collective rerouting; stabilize an uncontrolled scene before judging it.

Try it in a game

Locate a recurring fault, then respond to collective rerouting. Rollouts leave backlog; trials restore room. Adjust six slots as batches and handover goals change.

Play Shift Your Response

After playing, ask yourself

Which move changed your later choices? If conditions changed, would the same approach still work? What evidence would you need to check before applying the relationships in this game to real life?

Games are simplified practice environments for exploring tools and when to use them. Completing a game does not demonstrate mastery and is not a personality or professional assessment.

These introductions are written by ThinkTest, with learning inspiration from Untools. The games are not official Untools products.
