The CYNEFIN Framework is a decision-making tool that helps organizations to understand the complexity of different problems and to respond appropriately. It categorizes problems into five domains: Simple, Complicated, Complex, Chaotic, and Disorder. The impact on businesses is significant as it helps them to identify the nature of their challenges and to apply the most effective problem-solving strategies. For example, in the Simple domain, the relationship between cause and effect is clear, so the best approach is to establish a process and ensure it is followed. In the Complex domain, however, cause and effect can only be perceived in retrospect, so the best approach is to probe, sense, and then respond.
