What is an Idon Hexagon Kit?

 Idon Hexagon Kits consists of write on/wipe off coloured hexagons which magnetically  attach to whiteboards so they can easily be arranged and rearranged in patterns  to reflect our thinking. Portable kits include a lightweight double-sided Liteboard.  Each Kit is accompanied by a comprehensive User's Manual, "THINKING  WITH HEXAGONS" which helps you learn the thinking processes behind hexagon  modelling and the colour thinking method which codes various types of thought.

How an Idon Hexagon Kit Works

Ideas and concepts are summarised and written onto the hexagons. The mobility of the hexagons allows individual ideas to be moved and repatterned, developed and new ideas generated. Supported by the inherent flexibility and adaptability of the magnetic medium a graphical representation of our shared mental models evolves rapidly in a way impossible with flipcharts or whiteboards alone. This objectifying of our shared thinking greatly enhances team development.

By externalising our thinking in this way and keeping the ideas where we can easily see them, complex issues with many variables can be handled more effectively. Having relieved ourselves of the burden of memory our attention can remain on the context in hand. Modelling with hexagons in this way engages pattern recognition which in turn stimulates and encourages a comprehensive, intuitive and holistic approach to our work.

Visibility of thinking through idons helps people align their mental models in a way superior to voting or consensus.

Idon Hexagon Kits are used world-wide by individuals and teams in corporations and public services at all levels. Our visual thinking methods are increasingly being taken up by business schools, universities, educationalists, teachers and students.

Idon Hexagon Kits are highly recommended for anyone keen to develop competences in thinking and communication in management, decision support, planning and creative problem solving.
