In today’s episode we continue with our Permaculture Design Principle Deep Dive Series with Principle #4 – Self Regulate And Accept Feedback.
We talk about why those two terms – ‘self regulate’ and ‘accept feedback’ come packaged together, and how each is important to create an environment that promotes rapid iteration and ‘safe to fail’ testing of systems followed by planned amplification or dampening based on the results.
We’ll go through the Cynefin Sense-Making Framework as a tool for understanding the context in which you are in and adjusting your Decision Model to suite it appropriately. This includes:
- The 4 Types of Decision Scenarios
- Simple, Complicated, Complex and Chaotic
- The Zone of Disorder where we spend most of our time trying to figure out which type of scenario we are in so that we can respond appropriately.
- How to set up ‘safe to fail’ experiments vs. ‘fail safe’ experiments
- A simple 5 option ranking to determine what kind of situation you are in – Simple, Complicated or Complex
- The danger of the “Complacency Cliff” between Simple Systems and Chaos – and how to avoid falling off of it!
This is all about becoming a better designer and manager of your homestead.
