SIX THINKING HATS®

Reaching sound decisions:  fast, smart, efficient, together
​

Why Six Thinking Hats®?

Picture
Imagine it. Your team has the skills and techniques they need to make the best decision. Fast. Smart. Efficient.
It’s not impossible. In fact, it’s simple. Once they know how. That’s where Dr. Edward de Bono’s Six Thinking Hats® comes in. This systematic method of thinking brings rapid results - reaching better decisions in less time. More light, less heat, in any meeting.
​
It is a simple, effective technique that helps you and your meetings be far more productive. You and meeting participants can learn how to separate thinking into six distinct categories. Each category is identified with its own coloured metaphorical “thinking hat.” By mentally wearing and switching “hats,” you can easily focus or redirect thoughts, the conversation, or the meeting.

Who should attend?

Target Audiences
Everyone who would like to focus thinking and bring a clear structure to help you plan and manage any discussion. Helpful for individuals, it becomes even more powerful in meetings where everyone brings shared focus on one aspect of the discussion at a time. Typical participants include:
  • Project and strategy teams
  • Departmental managers and their team
  • Innovative teams who work creatively
  • Individual contributors and entrepreneurs
  • Teams working in highly competitive fields
​When you want to
  • Hold critical meetings without emotions or egos making poor decisions
  • Increase productivity within your team and become more effective 
  • Make creative solutions more common in your decision making process 
  • Maximize clear, effective thinking and idea development in meetings​
  • Get to the right solution quickly with a shared vision
  • Turn seemingly insoluble problems into real opportunities
