Six Hats

EDWARD DE BONO’S SIX THINKING HATS FOR CREATIVE THINKING AND PROBLEM SOLVING

“We learn to think more deeply from different points of view by using this six hat model. By using the hats to separate our thinking, we are able to focus our thoughts and generate ideas solely through one particular lens at a time.
Learning to do this makes it easier to solve problems and think creatively, especially when we put it all back together again.”
