Register Now →A global community of Basadur-trained practitioners, facilitators, consultants, and change leaders united by a common language — and a shared commitment to creative problem solving.
The HMW Collective is a global community of Basadur-trained practitioners, facilitators, consultants, and change leaders who share a common language for creative problem solving. Together, we help people ask better questions, discover better opportunities, solve better problems, and drive innovation.
Built around the Basadur Profile, Simplexity, and the "How might we…" mindset, the HMW Collective is a place to keep learning, exchange ideas, share real-world applications, and strengthen the practice of creative problem solving around the world.
This is not a passive network. It is a professional society where members contribute as much as they gain.
"The common thread is a process that is unique and complex — and the people are unique too. There is always a chance to learn something new."— The HMW Collective · Finalized May 22, 2026
We didn't come together by accident. Four deeply-held beliefs brought us here — and they are the foundation of everything we build together.
At the heart of everything HMW Collective members do is the Simplexity process — a structured, proven approach to solving complex problems that generates not just breakthrough ideas, but genuine consensus among the people who must act on them. When a team leaves the room, they leave aligned: with shared understanding, shared ownership, and a clear path forward.
No practitioner is finished developing. The more deeply Simplexity is applied, the more possibilities open up — and the more there is to master. The HMW Collective is where we challenge each other, share what we've learned in the field, and build the kind of expertise that only comes from practicing alongside others who care as deeply about the work as you do.
The most meaningful engagements are often too complex or too large for any single practitioner to take on alone. By connecting a trusted network of vetted Simplexity practitioners, the HMW Collective makes it possible to pursue work of greater scope and ambition. When the right people already know and trust each other, the engagements get bigger — and better.
Dr. Min Basadur has spent a lifetime developing and refining Simplexity — a methodology that has transformed how thousands of organizations create, decide, and move forward together. The HMW Collective exists, in part, to honor that contribution. Not as a monument, but as a living practice. Every facilitation we lead, every problem we help a team solve is a testament to a body of work worth carrying into the future.
The HMW Collective is built on a foundational belief: those who contribute generously to others are the ones who gain the most. This is not a transactional network where members extract value and move on. It is a community of professionals who show up for each other — willingly, consistently, and without keeping score.
When a client engagement gets difficult, members take the bullet for the team. When a colleague needs expertise outside their own, members step in. When someone is new to the practice, seasoned practitioners invest in them. This is the spirit that will define the HMW Collective — and it is non-negotiable.
