Description: A Corporate Chief Executive Officer ponders on the Six Thinking Hats which is the proven technique from Edward de Bono, the creative thinking guru. Sometimes referred to as ‘6 hats’ or 'the six hats of thinking', these techniques focus on enhancing the structure of thinking so that group decision making and idea evaluation can be dramatically improved. Six Thinking Hats is a time-tested, proven, and practical thinking tool. It provides a framework to help people think clearly and thoroughly by directing their thinking attention in one direction at a time - white hat facts, green hat creativity, yellow hat benefits, black cautions, red hat feelings, and blue hat process. It's a simple mental metaphor. Hats are easy to put on and to take off. Each hat is a different color which signals the mode of thinking. In a group setting each member thinks using the same thinking hat, at the same time, on the same thinking challenge—we call this focused parallel thinking.
