Methods can be major or minor, the former requiring some form of training and experiences. The latter tend to be swept up in the broad category of complex facilitation. Some methods require a knowledge of supporting theory (described in the concept pieces). These incorporate principles, commonly in the form of a heuristic to provide an easily memorable reminder of how to do things. Principles can be supported by metaphors and checklists.
Frameworks such as Cynefin® can be a method, or require method for their operation. Assemblages are, as the name suggests, an assemblage of methods, Frameworks and concepts, which require mentoring in the approach as a whole as well as training in the various components. Software solutions such as SenseMaker® get referred to as tools and are generally supported by methods and concepts. All of the above are supported by cases.
Specialist language used is outlined in the Glossary, which includes Translations. See also the listings of Books, events etc., the Support material & references and the Reading list. Additional pages can be found for SenseMaker®, including User guides and associated Community Forums. Other sections of the Wiki are given over to Cynefin® Centre activities, including Programmes, Signifier libraries and eBook outlines.
All material in the wiki is supported by Facilitation packs which also extend to other branded and open source methods.
