The Six Thinking Hats is a communication system devised by Dr. Edward de Bono to apply a full range of creative, intuitive, strategic and critical thinking to business issues. It involves your key people in focused, disciplined, parallel thinking to explore issues, solve problems, make decisions and design new concepts and procedures. The powerful simplicity of Six Thinking Hats will equip them with a solid, practical method for changing the way your people communicate in meetings, provide feedback and get them to work in teams.
The Hat is a metaphor used for the dimension of thinking that the thinker intends to use at any moment in time. Thinkers put on or take off these hats to indicate the type of thinking being called for at the time.
