An organization’s biggest change challenges are patterns to shift, not problems to solve.
How Healthy is Your Change Culture?
Why is change so hard—and why do the same challenges keep repeating across projects and organizations?
Poor sponsor engagement. Change fatigue. Scarce resources. Unrealistic plans.
These aren’t isolated problems. They’re recurring patterns of behaviour with no single “fix.” Seeing them for what they are transforms how you approach change.
The HexiChange Kit helps you uncover and shift the narratives and patterns that hold your organization’s change culture back—so you can build the conditions for real progress.
You Can’t Change What You Can’t See
HexiChange is a practical, visual tool for change leaders, facilitators, and teams to make sense of complex challenges.
At its core is a deck of hexagon-shaped cards—each featuring a unique IdeaLeap graphic that brings change dynamics to life. Every card captures a real-world insight: an observable behaviour, a systemic tension, or a belief that shapes how change unfolds.
Use the cards to reflect, spark dialogue, and co-create strategy. By arranging them visually, you surface hidden dynamics, explore interconnections, and shift unhelpful patterns.
Whether you’re diagnosing your culture, making sense of the present, or planning what’s next, HexiChange gives you a tactile, flexible way to navigate complexity—one interaction at a time.

HexiChange Card Categories
-
Anti-Patterns
Anti-patterns in change management are commonly used behaviours, approaches, or solutions that may appear helpful on the surface but consistently lead to poor outcomes over time.
-
Patterns
Patterns in change management are recurring behaviours, practices, or system dynamics that consistently support alignment, adaptability, and progress during change.
-
Narratives
Narratives in change management are the shared stories, beliefs, and assumptions that shape how people interpret and respond to change.
-
Interactions
Interactions in change management are the observable exchanges between people—conversations, decisions, behaviours, and moments of collaboration—that reveal how change is actually unfolding on the ground.
-
Big Ideas
Big ideas are the 'philosophy' around change. Mental models, conceptual, and high-level.
-
Change Agent Stance
Stances refer to how you see change, how you see your role in change, your attitude towards change, and the stance you take in situations. Common stances are mentor, coach, teacher, facilitator, and manager.
-
Tools & Practices
The tools, templates, frameworks, and models that we use.
-
Change Agent

Card Design
HexiChange is like a master’s degree in modern change management!
Each of the 300+ cards features a striking visual on the front—instantly connecting people to complex ideas—and a clear description on the back that turns insight into practical action.
The Lean Change intervention cards also contain a convenient QR code on the back. Simply scan it during a workshop to dive deeper into the concept!
Why Hexagons?
Because change is connected—and so are your ideas.
Hexagons aren’t just a clever shape. Each card has six edges, offering six possible connection points. When you place them side by side, the shape naturally invites questions:
What connects to what?
Why?
How strongly?
Two groups using the same cards will create entirely different webs of meaning. Even the same group, on a different day, will see new patterns emerge. That’s the beauty of hexagonal thinking—it surfaces complexity and sparks dialogue.
As teams build their webs, they debate which ideas are central, which connections matter most, and what patterns are forming. Along the way, they not only explore the cards, but also uncover deeper perspectives on change.
Whether you’re running a strategy session, a team retrospective, or a change leadership workshop, these activities will help you turn insight into impact.
