Presentation transcript:

De Bono’s Thinking Hats 'Six Thinking Hats' can be used to look at decisions from a number of different perspectives. They force you to move outside your usual thinking style, and help you to get a more rounded view of the situation. Many successful people think from a very rational, positive viewpoint. This is part of the reason that they are successful. Often, though, they may fail to look at a problem from an emotional, intuitive, creative or negative viewpoint. This can mean that they may lack imagination, fail to anticipate resistance or make contingency plans. Each 'Thinking Hat' encourages a different style of thinking

A different Thinking Hat can be ‘worn’ by individuals within a group, or by a group of children who report back to the class after discussion.

White Hat With this thinking hat you focus on the data available. Look at the information you have, and see what you can learn from it. Look for gaps in your knowledge, and either try to fill them or take account of them.

Red Hat 'Wearing' the red hat, you need to look at problems using intuition and emotion. Also try to think how other people will react emotionally. Try to understand the responses of people who do not fully know your reasoning.

Black Hat Black hat thinking helps you consider the negative points of any decision. Look at your plan cautiously and defensively. Try to see why it might not work. Try to get rid of the weak points, alter them, or prepare contingency plans to counteract them.  

Yellow Hat The yellow hat should help you think positively. It is the optimistic viewpoint that helps you to see all the benefits of the decision and the value in it. Yellow Hat thinking helps you to keep going when everything looks gloomy and difficult.

Green Hat The Green Hat stands for creativity. This is where you can develop creative solutions to a problem. It is a freewheeling way of thinking. People should be allowed to contribute ideas without fear of criticism.

Blue Hat The Blue Hat stands for direction and control. This is the hat worn by people chairing meetings. When ideas are running dry, they may direct activity into Green Hat thinking. When contingency plans are needed, they will ask for Black Hat thinking, and so on.
