Six Thinking Hats

About Six Thinking Hats

Problem solving and parallel thinking at its best!

The Six Thinking Hats method was developed by Edward De Bono in the early 1980’s. De Bono was the inventor of “lateral thinking”, a method of solving problems indirectly, often in creative and surprising way. Similarly, Six Thinking Hats is a way to understand and explore different types of thinking.

This workshop will teach your team the method and apply it directly to workplace challenges you are facing today. A powerful tool set, which once learned can be applied immediately!

The Six Thinking Hats workshop aims to unleash your teams potential through the power of parallel thinking. Our certified facilitator will train your team on how to use the method so you have the skills to integrate this simple and effective tool within your organisation.

Frequently Asked Questions

This event is designed so that your team can tackle issues at hand with different stages of parallel thinking, and the best way is to practice on the day with our facilitator with an idea or problem.

An indoor space with tables and chairs is preferred, so that teams can work together and jot down ideas.

Nope! You only need to imagine putting each ‘thinking hat’ on – sometimes picturing taking one hat off and putting another on can really help to differentiate each stage of thinking.
