Six Thinking Hats

Description

Created by Edward de Bono, the Six (6) Thinking Hats approach helps you look at your decision making or product planning process from a range of different perspectives.

This color-coded template is divided into six sections. The Information section is where you list the facts that are currently available, the Emotions section is for intuitive or instinctive gut reactions or statements of emotional feeling, and the Discernment section uses logic to identify reasons to be cautious and conservative. Use the Optimistic Response section to identify benefits, the Creativity section to add statements of provocation and investigation, and finally the Overview section is for drawing conclusions.
