SIX THINKING HATS

o A tool created by Dr. Edward de


Bono
o Novel way of increasing lateral
thinking
o A technique which gives us the
opportunity to explore and better
understand the complexity of a
concept, idea or decision by looking
at it from different points of view
o Metaphorically, each of the
different-colored hats represents a
different thinking approach
36

Orientation – Workshop on PFM Improvement Planning for LGUs


SIX THINKING HATS

White Hat (Neutrality)

With this thinking hat you focus on the data available. Look at the
information you have, and see what you can learn from it. Look for
gaps in your knowledge, and either try to fill them or take account of
them.
This is where you analyze past trends, and try to extrapolate from
historical data.

Red Hat (Feeling)

'Wearing' the red hat, you look at problems using intuition, gut
reaction, and emotion. Also try to think how other people will react
emotionally. Try to understand the responses of people who do not
fully know your reasoning.
37

Orientation – Workshop on PFM Improvement Planning for LGUs


SIX THINKING HATS

Black Hat (Negative Judgment)

Using black hat thinking, look at all the bad points of the decision.
Look at it cautiously and defensively. Try to see why it might not work.
This is important because it highlights the weak points in a plan. It
allows you to eliminate them, alter them, or prepare contingency
plans to counter them. Black Hat thinking helps to make your plans
'tougher' and more resilient. It can also help you to spot fatal flaws
and risks before you embark on a course of action.

Yellow Hat (Positive Judgment)

The yellow hat helps you to think positively. It is the optimistic


viewpoint that helps you to see all the benefits of the decision and the
value in it. Yellow Hat thinking helps you to keep going when
everything looks gloomy and difficult.
38

Orientation – Workshop on PFM Improvement Planning for LGUs


SIX THINKING HATS

Green Hat:

The Green Hat stands for creativity. This is where you can develop
creative solutions to a problem. It is a freewheeling way of thinking,
in which there is little criticism of ideas.

Blue Hat:

The Blue Hat stands for process control. This is the hat worn by
people chairing meetings. When running into difficulties because
ideas are running dry, they may direct activity into Green Hat
thinking. When contingency plans are needed, they will ask for
Black Hat thinking, etc.
