Six dimensional thinking
Ready to wake up to six-dimensional thinking?
The hexagon is the most robust shape occurring in nature. By default, we associate it the shape with a honeycomb and bees and their teamwork and cooperative nature. Community, creation and balance are just a few feelings evoked by this geometric wonder. Six-dimensional models seem to be commonly used to build awareness and flexibility. For example, A Whole New Mind author Daniel Pink describes the six senses, “design, story, symphony, empathy, play, meaning,” as senses that one needs to develop a “whole new mind”. He argues we have forgotten how to imagine in the right-brain world we created, necklacing the use of our conceptual right-brain. Psychology uses the ACT hexagon approach to build psychological flexibility, committed action and contact with the present moment. Futures thinking uses the STEEPV framework to map signals and trends from a comprehensive perspective to understand the situation and find the most critical uncertainties. Schools use hexagon thinking to build critical thinking skills that remind me of future impact mapping practice.
