240915 - This complements Dave's paper on "Complex Acts of Knowing..."

240920 - Sensemaking mentioned in Snowden's paper today, ref OF 2 01BR, was

240924 - Snowden says in part...
240925 -
240926 -        The Cynefin framework originated in the practice of knowledge
240927 -        management...  We are now beginning to apply [Cynefin] to the
240928 -        areas of leadership, customer relationship management, and
240929 -        supply chain management...  We consider Cynefin a sense-making
240930 -        framework, which means that its value is not so much in logical
240931 -        arguments or empirical verifications as in its effect on the
240932 -        sense-making and decision-making... [Cynefin] gives decision
240933 -        makers powerful new constructs that they can use to make sense
240934 -        of... problems.  It also helps people to break out of old ways
240935 -        of thinking and to consider intractable problems in new ways.
240936 -        The framework is particularly useful in collective
240937 -        sense-making, in that it is designed to allow shared
240938 -        understandings to emerge through the multiple discourses of the
240939 -        decision-making group. ref OF 2 01BR

240942 - The file is 102K, so Gary wants to segment it and add anchors.
240944 -  ..
240945 - This actually can be opened with SDS, but is on the margin, so
240946 - segmenting is good practice.  Procedures are listed in the record on
240947 - 040714. ref SDS 4 0001
