      Yes,Hats promote parallel thinking, which De Bono presented as an effective alternative to contradictory thinking. By defining a group's point of view, the benefit is in reducing negative conflicts and increasing cooperation.

      Yes Nuwansiri, There are many ways to apply hats within an organisation, both to an individual and to a group. You can take any problem or situation and try these approaches.

      Hi Asitha, Six Hat Thinking is a technique that helps individuals and groups see problems and situations from a variety of perspectives. Essentially, Six Hats steers you towards 'how to think' rather than 'what to think', which means it can be universally applied.

    Theory A focuses on the innate human urge for creativity as the basis of individual and organizational achievement. This, when integrated with the Six Hats Thinking Technique in Decision Making, offers multiple perspectives. These perspectives reveal the imprint of each thought. Thanks for sharing.

      Yes Vishwa, It helps you conduct meetings more efficiently. Since everyone is focused on one particular approach at a time, the team is more likely to collaborate than one person reacting emotionally (red hat) while the other tries to be objective. (White hat).

      Yes Shanak, 6TH is a great tool for recognising when a group of people has fallen into that mindset and the discussion is going nowhere. The moderator should then switch the group to a different hat to open the discussion. For example, we've found that when lead teams are looking for new project ideas or want to make changes to internal processes, such as reducing internal bureaucracy, tend to think of as Black Hat. People focus on problems or obstacles to do something new or different. “It will never work”, “Our process does not allow that to happen. They then find themselves stuck in a race, still focused on "why we shouldn't" and as a result nothing has changed and no new ideas come up.
