Cynefin is a Welsh word only roughly to be translated as ‘place’. It is used by David Snowden and associates to signify social complexity in general and contextual complexity in particular.

Cynefin is concerned with how groups of people within organizations can come to articulate their experience and map it out in ways that can help them better understand what is emergent in their world. Articulation, mapping and understanding are generic common sense terms for basic operations which have been spelled out in various ways in the method of LVT.
