Understanding Complexity with Dave Snowden - OrgDev Episode 92
Episode 92
Friday, 13 February, 2026
We'd love to hear from you so send us a message!How to apply complexity thinking in your organisationIf we can’t reliably predict what will happen in our organisations, can’t control outcomes in any simple way, and can’t even agree on what’s true – how do we lead?That’s the territory explored in this conversation with Dave Snowden. We move beyond tidy change models and into the realities of uncertainty, distributed knowledge and contested meaning. This episode challenges the instinct to simplify too quickly, offering a more grounded way to think about judgement, intervention and action in complex systems.From Cynefin to estuarine mapping, the discussion examines what it really means to make sense of the present before attempting to shape the future — and why leadership in complexity is less about control and more about creating the conditions for coherence to emerge.Wish you had a handy recap of the episode?
