Dave Snowden ( MiNE Fellow) is Director of the newly formed Cynefin Centre which focuses on using human networks to enable the emergence of new meaning in organisational complexity.

He was formerly a Director in the Institute for Knowledge Management where he led the Institute's programmes on complexity and narrative as well as taking geographic responsibility for the Institute's activities outside the Americas.

One of the founders of organic knowledge management, he pioneered the use of story techniques as a means of knowledge disclosure and a key aspect of creating a knowledge strategy.

His subsequent work has taken him into the integration of learning and knowledge using models derived from complexity science and the development of advanced techniques for the management of informal communities and the simulation of social networks.

His work on narrative has continued to develop with highly original work on the use of archetypes for a variety of purposes, oral history as an alternative to Intellectual Capital Management Systems and the integration of complexity and narrative models into advanced decision support tools for strategy formation, scenario planning, innovation, branding and cultural change/integration.

He regularly consults at the board level with some of the world's largest companies as well as to Government and NGOs. In addition he sits on a number of advistory and other bodies including the BSI committee on standards for Knowledge Management.
