Learning about Cynefin and Cognitive Edge tools in Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra (Australia)

Many of you might not know that I got my start in business narrative working with Dave Snowden in IBM’s Cynefin Centre in the late 1990’s. It was an exhilarating experience. We spent four years creating a range of new tools and techniques for helping companies thrive in complexity, and story-based techniques were at the core of our approach.

Dave and I left IBM about the same time and Dave set up Cognitive Edge to create software tools to support sensemaking techniques. We are proud to say that Anecdote is a partner of Cognitive Edge and offers the Cognitive Edge software and related services to our clients.
