# Cynefin https://thecynefin.co/about-us/about-cynefin-framework The Cynefin Framework, developed by Dave Snowden, is a framework designed to help leaders understand their challenges and make decisions in context. It recognizes the need for actions to match the reality we find ourselves in through a process of sense-making. The term 'Cynefin', a Welsh word, signifies the multiple, intertwined factors in our environment and our experience that influence our thoughts, interpretations, and actions in ways we can never fully understand. This framework is used across various sectors, from strategy and public policy to healthcare and education.
