- 2. Agenda Define parallel thinking Identify each of the six hats Apply six hats method to problem solving
- 3. Parallel Thinking At any moment everyone is looking in the same direction. Each thinker puts forward his or her thoughts in parallel with the thoughts of others Guides thought processes in one direction at a time so we can effectively analyze issues, generate new ideas, and make better decisions. Constructive alternative to arguments
- 4. So the six hats are…?
- 5. Using the hats • Use any hat, as often as needed • Sequence can be preset or evolving • Not necessary to use every hat • Time under each hat: generally, short • Requires discipline from each person – While using it, stay in the idiom • Can be used by individuals and groups
- 6. Blue Hat Managing the Thinking Process • Control of thinking & the process • Instructions for thinking • The organization of thinking • Control of the other hats • Begin & end session with blue hat • Discipline and focus • Facilitator, session leader’s role
- 8. Open with the blue hat…. Why we are here what we are thinking about definition of the situation or problem what we want to achieve where we want to end up the background to the thinking a plan for the sequence of hats
- 9. White Hat Information Available & Needed Neutral, objective information Facts & figures Questions: what do we know, what don’t we know, what do we need to know Excludes opinions, hunches, judgements Removes feelings & impressions
- 11. Red Hat Intuition and Feelings Emotions & feelings Hunches, intuitions, impressions Doesn’t have to be logical or consistent No justifications, reasons or basis All decisions are emotional in the end
- 13. Black Hat Caution, Difficulties, and Problems Cautious and careful Logical negative – why it won’t work Critical judgment, pessimistic view Separates logical negative from emotional Focus on errors, evidence, conclusions Logical & truthful, but not necessarily fair
- 15. Yellow Hat Benefits and Feasibility Positive & speculative Positive thinking, optimism, opportunity Benefits Best-case scenarios Exploration
- 17. Green Hat Alternatives and Creative Ideas New ideas, concepts, perceptions Deliberate creation of new ideas Alternatives and more alternatives New approaches to problems Creative & lateral thinking
- 19. …and close with the blue hat What we have achieved Outcome Conclusion Design Solution Next steps
- 20. Hats Activities
- 21. Single Hat and Sequence Use The hats can be used singly at any point in thinking. In general, this is the major use. The hats are used as a convenience for directing thinking and for switching thinking. Simple sequences of two or three hats may be used together for a particular purpose. For example, the yellow hat followed by the black hat may be used to assess an idea. The black hat followed by the green hat may be used to improve a design.
- 22. Evaluation Sequence To discover the positive aspects and negative aspects of an idea. You use the yellow hat before the black hat. You could follow up with the green hat (new ideas) and red hat (feelings) thinking. Examples: Consider positive and negative Not doing homework one night. Swapping toys with friends.
- 23. Caution Sequence Looking critically at situations. You are first considering facts with the white hat. Then use the black hat to discover difficulties. This can be followed up with some blue hat or red hat thinking. Examples: consider the consequences Throwing most of your lunch in the bin everyday. Not letting someone know where you are going.
- 24. Design Sequence Encourage students to create new ideas, products or improvements to existing designs. Use the blue, green and red hats. Example: use design sequence to create A better toothbrush Alternatives to homework.
- 25. Other Sequences Red + White Comparing fact and opinion Black + Yellow + Green Comparing and synthesizing (coming up with new ideas from the known) White + Blue What do we know (facts) and where are we going (planning)
- 26. Benefits of Six Thinking Hats Provides a common language Experience & intelligence of each person (Diversity of thought) Helps people work against type, preference Removal of ego (reduce confrontation) Focus (one thing at a time) Create, evaluate & implement action plans
