![[An attempt to outline intentional living#^c1f6fb]] To respond effectively to change, it's essential to distinguish between the content of the change and its context, as the context drives the most appropriate response ([[Content and context of change aren't the same thing]]). Evaluating what's known and unknown helps refine your understanding, guiding decisions on actions, outcomes, objectives, missions, and visions. The [[Cynefin Framework]] is a mental model for understanding complexity in the context of change, whereas [[The Five Orders of Ignorance]] framework helps assess different levels of ignorance and what's needed to reduce it. Cynefin classifies situations into five contexts: Clear, Complicated, Complex, Chaotic, and Confused. Your goal is to determine which context applies to your situation, helping you move from Confused to one of the others. This framework then guides you toward the actions needed to reach Clear. The context you identify assesses your order of ignorance. However, because your context is identified based on your order of ignorance, this can influence your judgment and may result in misclassifying your situation.
