OVERVIEW
“Six Thinking Hats” is a way of approaching and investigating an issue, change, or process from a variety of perspectives in a clear, conflict-free way. This can be done by an individual, by team members each wearing a different hat(s), or by a group ‘wearing the same hat’ in a sequential order. Large complex issues can also be set up with six separate teams meeting with representatives from each meeting to assess all perspectives.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Learn how meetings can be transformed to produce quick, decisive results every time. The Six Hats method is a devastatingly simple technique based on the brain’s different modes of thinking
Inspire idea generation as an ice-breaker activity by having different people play different roles
Get past stopping points and guide your team beyond their instinctive positions
Explore multiple ways of viewing problems (from different perspectives) in conflict-free ways (parallel thinking)
Avoid having to argue your case or make snap decisions about what’s “right” or “wrong”
Besides improving the quality of your decisions, the Six Thinking Hats technique has more benefits to offer: more organized thinking, improved creativity, better thinking skills, stronger interpersonal skills, and greater inclusivity in teams
Help people set aside preconceptions and focus on seeing things from the same perspective for a while. Debate will happen, but it will be based on shared understandings which can help everyone to feel included
Meetings can be transformed to produce quick, decisive results. When traditional solutions are unlikely to get the desired result, this technique will help form original answers to difficult questions
The intelligence, experience and information of everyone is harnessed to reach the right conclusions quickly. These principles fundamentally change the way you work and interact
