Carlo Volpi accepted the challenge and created his own map. He suggests that a visual map is an essential addition to navigate the catalogue. In the first level Carlo drafted the key overarching concepts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the second levels, Carlo added the practices. This below is his map (click to zoom):<\/p>\n\n\n\n The third level of the map contains Carlo’s personal notes, reflections, and consideration, so it is not visible here. You have to draw your own map for that.

Carlo continues explaining that there are multiple potential connections among the practices and a map can be the starting point to draw those non-linear connections. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The conversation with Carlo continues with the realisation that many connoisseurs of complexity theory sometimes struggle with the concept of practice<\/em> inspired by complexity.
When asked to mention a practice they may for example point to Cynefin that really is a framework (in the same way that Scrum is an Agile framework). Or they may point to Probing<\/em> or Ritual dissent<\/em> that really are techniques (in the same way that Dot-voting is a facilitation technique, not an Agile practice).
An example of an Agile practice could be a Retrospective, and an example of a complexity inspired practice could be the Four points method that, while it is based on Cynefin, it has a specific purpose, inputs, outputs\/outcomes, and participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.smharter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/BookContents.png\")
