2. 6 Thinking Hats - Creative Thinking by De Bono
 Approach to promote creative thinking
 Tool to enhance real thinking, to make the process more productive and focussed
 6 thinking hats – 6 different roles – each role identifies with a colour symbolic
thinking hat
 Helps to redirect thoughts by mentally switching from one hat to another
 White Hat: Stating facts and information; things you already know
 Yellow Hat: Looking at the bright side; being optimistic and positive adding
value and benefits
 Red Hat: Expressing feelings and emotions; your reactions and opinions
 Blue Hat: Managing and controlling; looking at the bigger picture
 Green Hat: Exploring other alternatives; Generating new ideas and solutions
 Black hat: Being realistic and practical; being cautious, finding where things
might go wrong, discovering dangers and difficulties. It is usually called the
devil’s voice.
 The above 6 hats when combined together allows your mind to think clearly and
objectively
 Start with blue – ask yourself questions such as – what is our goal, are the 6
guidelines observed clearly? What is the subject addressed – helps get an over all
view of the problem
 Next Red – Expressing what you feel towards the problem – asking yourself who
might be affected from this problem
 Then Yellow and later Green – to invent new concepts and solutions
 Then White and Black (switch between them) – to validate your solution by
using information that you already know.
 Train your mind to switch directions from one hat to another to solve problems
efficiently and effectively bringing out benefits too
