Dave Snowden and the Cynefin Co have developed a series of complex methods and practices, as well as an approach to assembling those methods and tools into context-sensitive process designs and outputs using hexagons. We are the originators of a body of tools and techniques used with groups to work with complex and complicated issues, falling broadly under the umbrella of complex facilitation... However, we also acknowledge that this is a broad field with many actors and as part of a broader open approach, our hexi kits will be open to others to collaborate in a multi-method, multi-vendor approach.

In 2022, the Cynefin Co are launching a core facilitation kit and approach with its own brand and identity, but also opening this process up to other partners and organisations to define their own methods and tools sets and create their own hexi “extension packs”, permitting a multi-vendor approach to scaling complex approaches.

In our initial launch, we are making available:
• Cynefin Co Hexi BasePack – our core methods and approaches
• The EU Field Guide hexi kit – containing all of the methods and tools set out in the Field Guide
• A bundle containing both the Cynefin Co Base Pack and the EUFG pack
• All with optional training support

Further kits from The Cynefin Co. and partners will be announced progressively in the coming months.

Over many years of working with a broad spectrum of clients, we have refined these tools and techniques and distilled them into distinct themes and categories that form the basis of these kits.
