Hexies Post-it Notes are Better
One of the narrative techniques we use involves identifying the characters, topics and behaviours from a collection of transcribed anecdotes. This process usually involves groups writing these characters, topics and behaviours onto post-it notes ready for group clustering and sense-making. Now we don’t just use any kind of post-it note, we use Hexies Post-it Notes.
The types of clusters look like this:
As you can imagine, using normal rectangular post-its for this kind of clustering would take up a whole lot more wall space, not to mention being clumsy with no visual appeal. (Ok, thats the libran in me speaking through, we’re sposed to be aesthetic creatures).
Where can you buy these wonderful hexies? Look no further than here in our shop. Don’t get caught without.

I’ve been using these lots recently. How do you use differently colours? I sometimes give different colours to different groups, although using different coloured pens on one colour of post-its works too. Off a relatively small sample set I’ve noticed that IT people are nowhere near as good at tesselating the hexes nicely. They seem to overlap or plonk them together with gaps. Have you noticed this at all?
Hi Julian, depending on what we are doing I use the different colours to show the characters, topics and behaviours we extract from anecdotes, then a different colour again for labels in the clusters.
Yes, I noticed that some groups love to put things in lists rather than tesselate. I show them the way and they are quickly converted 🙂
