The Pragmatic Lead Podcast Pragmatic Lead

John and Alex discuss the 2021 GraphQL Summit.

Dave Snowden, Founder of Cognitive Edge and inventor of the Cynefin Framework, joins us to discuss complexity and human nature. In this episode, we still explore the high-level nuances of complexity thinking and some of the language around Cynefin and Complexity. By the end of this episode, we hope you find enough value to explore Cynefin and Complexity Science independently.

In episode 11 of the Pragmatic Lead Podcast, Alexander Omeyer, CEO and Co-Founder of StepSize, joins us to dive deep into the meaning of technical debt and argue the nuances of what it takes to manage technical debt well. Are we filing for bankruptcy each time we rewrite an application? Is it really considered debt if we are spending time reshaping the code to accurately represent the business domain we are creating for?

Join us on our journey into Cynefin, a framework for sense-making. For over twenty years, Dave Snowden has been helping leaders break out of a tendency to use the same solutions for different settings. Cynefin is the first, and this time the only, framework that allows leaders to ground their leadership skills in the reality of what is going on around them. Join us in a conversation as Alex and John do their best to explore the Cynefin map and real-world design stories to help apply the complex thinking that Cynefin requires.
