Introducing Five Core Methods
H3Uni Core Methods for navigating transformation.
H3Uni interactive practices are based in strategic foresight, systems thinking, developmental learning, scenario planning, complexity and ‘second order science’, which combined, ensure that people are empowered to work together towards common goals easily and effectively: supported by well designed tools and facilitation procedure.
To support this work in practice, H3Uni has distilled five core methods—each a standalone way of seeing and acting, and together a comprehensive approach to transformative learning.
At a Glance: The Five Core Methods
Three Horizons — for futures thinking and conscious transition
Hexagon Clustering — for making sense of complexity
Dilemma Navigation — for transforming tensions and polarities
Wheel of Wisdom — for shared, multi-perspective decision-making
World Mandala — for human–planetary ecosystem understanding
The Five Core Methods form a holistic learning journey for navigating transformation, future consciousness, and systemic complexity. Each method stands alone as a complete practice, yet all contribute to a larger pattern of understanding and effective regenerative action.
Together, they help individuals and groups cultivate the insight, practical skill, and collaborative capacity needed to work meaningfully with today’s challenges and tomorrow’s possibilities.
Navigating Transformation with Dilemma Navigation
A practical method for surfacing deep tensions and conflicting values that block progress. Dilemma Navigation helps groups recognise the underlying pattern of a dilemma, clarify what truly matters, and discover coherent pathways toward transformative action.

Future Consciousness with Three Horizons
A framework for seeing emerging futures while working wisely in the present. Three Horizons helps practitioners recognise the limits of current patterns, identify “seeds of the future,” and collaborate on transitions toward long-term regenerative possibilities.

Grasping Complexity with Hexagon Clustering
A visual pattern-mapping method that reveals structure within complexity. Hexagon Clustering enables groups to organise insights, discover relationships, and identify leverage points in complex systems where meaningful change can occur.

Human Insight with the Wisdom Wheel
A reflective method for cultivating inner clarity and aligning multiple ways of knowing. The Wisdom Wheel supports individuals and groups to balance intuition, reason, experience, and values—building shared purpose and deeper coherence in transformative work.

Whole-System Understanding with the World System Diagnostic
A systemic method for sensing the wider planetary and socio-ecological context. The World System Diagnostic helps practitioners understand drivers, constraints and opportunities across whole systems, informing viable strategies for long-term change.
