"You can analyse the past but you have to design the future!"

Six Thinking Hats is a simple yet powerful thinking tool that can be used to stimulate creativity and creative problem solving.

Designed and developed by Dr Edward de Bono, the Six Thinking Hats is one of the world's best thinking tools.

The underlying principle behind The Six Thinking Hats is that parallel thinking is hugely more productive than adversarial thinking, argument or debate. There are six different coloured, metaphorical hats (actual hats are not used!) Each hat represents a different type or mode of thinking and can be used to methodically think through an issue or problem in order to develop effective new ideas and solutions.

Six Thinking Hats is a practical and effective management tool that can significantly improve the productivity and effectiveness of your organisation. This has been proven over the years by many leading edge companies.

Six Thinking Hats is a tremendously flexible technique which can be used personally, one to one and in teams/meetings. Its positive impact on your culture will be significant.

This is the official de Bono Six Thinking Hats course and is facilitated by one of Dr de Bono's Master Trainers.
