This publication is a shared effort between the Joint Research Centre (JRC), the European Commission’s science and knowledge service, and the Cynefin Centre. It aims to provide sense-making support to the European policymaking process.
This field guide helps to navigate crises using the Cynefin framework as a compass. It proposes a four-stage approach through which we can:
assess the type of crisis and initiate a response; adapt to the new pace and start building sensing networks to inform decisions; repurpose existing structures and working methods to generate radical innovation; transcend the crisis, formalize lessons learned and increase resilience.
The field guide stresses the importance of setting and managing boundaries, building informal structures, keeping options open, distributing engagement, and keeping an ongoing assessment of the evolving landscape.
Action items, real-life examples, and demonstrations complement the references to the developing theoretical framework.
