* The main dependent construct/factor when using the Cynefin Framework in the context of Information Systems would be the effectiveness of decision-making and problem-solving. The framework is designed to help individuals and organizations make sense of complex and uncertain situations and to tailor their approach to decision-making based on the nature of the problem at hand.
 +
* In the context of Information Systems, effective decision-making and problem-solving can have a significant impact on an organization's ability to manage its technology infrastructure, maintain data security, and adapt to changing technology trends. By using the Cynefin Framework, organizations can improve their ability to navigate complex and uncertain situations, identify potential solutions, and make informed decisions that support their overall goals and objectives.

* Therefore, the effectiveness of decision-making and problem-solving would be the main dependent construct/factor when using the Cynefin Framework in the context of Information Systems.

 +
* The main independent construct/factor when using the Cynefin Framework in the context of Information Systems would be the nature of the problem or situation being addressed. The Cynefin Framework is designed to help individuals and organizations make sense of complex and uncertain situations by categorizing them into one of five domains: Simple, Complicated, Complex, Chaotic, and Disorder.
 +
* The nature of the problem or situation being addressed determines which domain it falls into and therefore how it should be approached. For example, a technical issue that has a clear cause-and-effect relationship and a straightforward solution would fall into the Simple domain, while a cybersecurity threat that is unpredictable and has multiple possible outcomes would fall into the Complex domain.
 +
* Therefore, the nature of the problem or situation being addressed is the main independent construct/factor when using the Cynefin Framework in the context of Information Systems.

The Cynefin Framework was created in 1999 by Dave Snowden when he worked for IBM Global Services. Cynefin framework is a decision-making approach which draws its strength from: 
 +
 
 +
# <u>Systems theory</u>: is a multidisciplinary field that studies how systems interact with their environment and with other systems
 +
# <u>Complexity theory</u>: is a branch of systems theory that focuses on how complex systems emerge from simple interactions among agents
 +
# <u>Network theory</u>: is a mathematical field that analyses how networks are structured and function
 +
# <u>Learning theory</u>: this theory could be any about one or more psychological theories that explain how humans acquire and process knowledge. The primary five categories in learning from which any learning theory is drawn upon are: Cognitive Learning, Behaviorism Learning, Constructivism Learning, Humanism Learning, Connectivism Learning
 +
 
 +
Above four theories (system, complexity, network, learning theory) help explain how systems behave and evolve under different conditions of order and disorder.
 +
 
 +
The Cynefin framework uses these theories to categorize situations into different domains based on their level of complexity and predictability.
 +
 
 +
Each domain has different implications for decision-making and problem-solving.

The phrase "one-size-fits-all" is well known adage among ‘problem solving’ circles in any industry. And most effective leaders understand that their actions are influenced by the prevailing situation. However, the actual challenge is in knowing, which approach should one use in a given situation? And are there any professional tips to avoid making the wrong decision?

Cynefin (pronounced as kuh-NEV-in) is a Welsh word meaning habitat, haunt, acquainted, familiar. Cynefin framework has been described as a "sense-making device". So, the idea of the Cynefin framework is that, it offers decision-makers a "sense of place" from which the leaders can view their perceptions. The Cynefin Framework consists of five domains:
   −
*First point
+
* Clear (earlier term used was ‘Simple’, until it got changed)
*Second point
+
* Complicated
*Nth point
+
* Complex
 +
* Chaotic
 +
* Disorder
