About the HMW Collective

A Professional Home for the World's Problem Solvers

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 — built on a foundational belief that givers 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."
