+
+The wrasse is an interesting fish, and I’ve been playing with the following summary of why we use it:
+
+“[The WRASSE framework](https://thecynefin.co/weaving-risk-and-strategy/) takes its name from the wrasse family of fish, renowned in ecology for their roles as cleaners of the ecosystem and masters of adaptation. Like the wrasse that changes its colours to thrive in shifting environments, our framework helps organisations adapt their strategy to complex, changing markets. Like the wrasse that contributes to the health of the entire reef by removing parasites, the framework helps organisations identify and mitigate risks, leading to a healthier, more resilient business ecosystem. The name evokes  intelligent adaptation and symbiotic relationships within a complex system.”
+
+In that context, within an organisation, we might then be talking about:
+
+- The technological substrate: Your software stack, data architecture, and core technologies.
+
+- The cultural substrate: The shared values, beliefs, and behavioural norms of your organisation.
+
+- The procedural substrate: The core processes, governance, and workflows that dictate how work gets done.
+
+- The network substrate: The web of relationships with partners, suppliers, and competitors.

+In a rapidly changing world, traditional strategies are often insufficient to ensure success. Welcome to "Thriving in Minimum Viability: The Adaptive Approach," a talk centered on providing individuals and teams with techniques to not only survive but flourish in dynamic environments. 
+
+Change can come swiftly and unexpectedly, challenging the very foundations of established norms. To navigate this unpredictable landscape, embracing an adaptive approach is essential. This engaging talk delves into the concept of "minimum viability," where the focus shifts from perfection to iteration, from rigidity to flexibility, and from conventional to innovative and fostering the conditions that enable this.

+Title = "Weapons of the Weak: Stories of Tech x Humanity from Southeast Asia"
+Type = "talk"
+Speakers = ["jules-yim"]
++++
+
+We are witnessing the crumbling of social compacts everywhere we turn, with linear paths of progression through education and industries no longer a guarantee of success in a career. Young people are facing seemingly unprecedented levels of uncertainty about the future and are turning inwards more than they are outwards to each other. Mid-careerists live with the spectre of being replaced by glorified chatbots that flattens their craft honed over decades into 2D. In a world inexorably arbitrated by tech – which is inseparable from AI nowadays – how can we rediscover our humanity, firstly for ourselves, and then as communities and societies?
+
+And, what if human vs tech is a false dichotomy – what if there is a middle path? Eastern philosophy tends to stress the value of the middle path, or golden mean, and cautions against the swinging of the pendulum. What if we thought of AI as "good ghosting" – not an all-knowing chatbot or LLM, but small, localised presences? In the words of Sam de Silva, what if we imagine technology as "presence, spirit or kin", and embed intelligence into the world rather than on top of it?
+
+In this keynote, Jules Yim will share stories of how diverse peoples in Southeast Asia are negotiating their relationship to tech and each other, and finding ways to move from the periphery of global consciousness towards the core.

+Dave Snowden divides his time between two roles: founder Chief Scientific Officer of Cognitive Edge and the founder and Director of the Centre for Applied Complexity at the University of Wales.  His work is international in nature and covers government and industry looking at complex issues relating to strategy, organisational decision making and decision making.  He has pioneered a science based approach to organisations drawing on anthropology, neuroscience and complex adaptive systems theory.  He is a popular and passionate keynote speaker on a range of subjects, and is well known for his pragmatic cynicism and iconoclastic style. 
+
+He holds positions extra-ordinary Professor at the Universities of Pretoria and Stellenbosch as well as visiting Professor at Bangor University in Wales.  He has held similar positions at Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Canberra University, the University of Warwick and The University of Surrey.  He held the position of senior fellow at the Institute of Defence and Strategic Studies at Nanyang University and the Civil Service College in Singapore during a sabbatical period in Nanyang. 
+
+His paper with Boone on Leadership was the cover article for the Harvard Business Review in November 2007 and also won the Academy of Management aware for the best practitioner paper in the same year.  He has previously won a special award from the Academy for originality in his work on knowledge management. He is a editorial board member of several academic and practitioner journals in the field of knowledge management and is an Editor in Chief of E:CO.  In 2006 he was Director of the EPSRC (UK) research programme on emergence and in 2007 was appointed to an NSF (US) review panel on complexity science research.
+
+He previously worked for IBM where he was a Director of the Institution for Knowledge Management and founded the Cynefin Centre for Organisational Complexity; during that period he was selected by IBM as one of six on-demand thinkers for a world wide advertising campaign. Prior to that he worked in a range of strategic and management roles in the service sector. 
+
+His company Cognitive Edge exists to integrate academic thinking with practice in organisations throughout the world and operates on a network model working with Academics, Government, Commercial Organisations, NGOs and Independent Consultants.  He is also the main designer of the SenseMaker® software suite, originally developed in the field of counter terrorism and now being actively deployed in both Government and Industry to handle issues of impact measurement, customer/employee insight, narrative based knowledge management, strategic foresight and risk management. 
+
+The Centre for Applied Complexity was established to look at whole of citizen engagement in government and is running active programmes in Wales and elsewhere in areas such as social inclusion, self-organising communities and nudge economics together with a broad range of programmes in health.  The Centre will establish Wales as a centre of excellence for the integration of academic and practitioner work in creating a science based approach to understanding society.
