Six Thinking Hats

   
 

Learn to develop successful strategies for how to think about business issues more effectively as a group and as individuals

Developed by Dr. Edward de Bono, Six Thinking Hats® is a simple, effective “parallel thinking” process that helps people be more productive, focused, and involved in solving problems and making decisions.

You and your team members learn how to separate thinking into six clear functions and roles. Each thinking role is identified with a coloured symbolic "thinking hat." By mentally wearing and switching hats, one can easily focus or redirect thoughts, the conversation, or the meeting.
