Dr Edward De Bono's Six Thinking Hats are a powerful process for separating, exploring, and addressing the various aspects of an issue or problem, in order to creatively design a solution through constructive parallel thinking. In the following list, the order is important.
- Blue Hat: Organizing (The Framework)
- Red Hat: Feelings/Emotions
- White Hat: Information/Facts
- Yellow Hat: Benefits/Upsides/Positives/Optimism
- Black Hat: Critical Thinking/Downside/Negatives/Pessimism
- Green Hat: Creativity/Growth/New Ideas
