Description

This bundle combines the latest facilitation tools from The Cynefin Co. for navigating complexity, The BaseKit (V2) and the Estuarine Mapping Kit.

Formerly known as the Managing Complexity (and Chaos) in Times of Crisis kit, the Estaurine Mapping Kit has evolved beyond its origins with the EU Commission’s Joint Research Centre publication. It now integrates a broader range of The Cynefin Co. methods and tools that have emerged since the Field Guide was first published. This marks a significant shift in how we approach complexity in practice, enabling deeper mapping, adaptive strategy and better navigation in fast-changing, uncertain environments.

By ordering this bundle, you’ll receive:

  • The BaseKit V2 is a streamlined, expanded, and field-tested toolkit containing 120 Hexi cards and 40 acrylic Hexis, covering core Cynefin concepts, dynamics, and SenseMaker® methods. It’s designed for use in workshops, strategy sessions, and facilitation work where sense-making and complex decision-making are needed.
  • The Estuarine Mapping Kit is a practical kit for running Estuarine Mapping processes with groups. It includes 145 Hexi cards. Including: facilitation aids, role cards, method cards, and framework cards to help participants create meaningful and flexible maps of their environments. This enables teams to identify possibilities, constraints, and pathways for action, thereby linking sense-making directly with decision-making and strategy.

What’s changed?

  • The Base Kit V2 builds on feedback from practitioners, adding new cards (including Liminal, Aporia, AIMS and 3As) and improving transportability and usability.
  • The Estuarine Mapping Kit marks the next chapter in the EU Field Guide’s practical application, advancing with new facilitation aids and typologies while maintaining Estuarine Mapping as accessible, practical, and tangible.

This bundle is ideal for facilitators, consultants, strategy and community leaders working in complex and shifting environments.

The Estuarine Mapping Kit is designed to be used alongside training — see more information here

Special Bundle Offer:
When you buy both kits together, you’ll receive them at a discounted bundle price of £349 (instead of £370).
