SIX THINKING HATS- A CREATIVITY TOOL
Good thinking has
tremendous power - the power to challenge, the power to influence . . . the
power to change.
“The quality of
our thinking determines the quality of our future.”
-Dr.
Edward de Bono, creator of Six Thinking Hats®
About
This Seminar:
What is it, and why is it called the Six Thinking Hats®? It is a
fast-paced, intense and interactive course. By mentally wearing and
switching metaphorical “hats,” individuals or teams separate thinking into
six categories for analyzing matters objectively and comprehensively. It’s
amazing to see the results that can be accomplished by individuals and
teams who know how to separate emotion from facts, the positive from the
negative, and critical from creative thinking. The measurable results
include shorter meetings, thorough assessment of alternatives before
making decisions, better communication and easier problem resolution.
Participants will leave the session with practical tools they can
immediately apply on the job..
Who
Should Attend
Who
needs it? Honestly, everyone! And anyone who wants . . . a faster way to
be more creative; a meeting facilitation tool that surfaces hidden agendas
and achieves objectives without the usual flailing around and conflict; a
way to make sure that all sides of an issue are addressed now, not a month
or two from now; a tool that works well in different cultures around the
world; a sharpened ability to think clearly, objectively, systematically,
and creatively!
You
Will Learn
Six
Thinking Hats® sharpens your team skills by:
-
Making meetings much more productive and shorter
-
Using Parallel Thinking as a group to generate more
ideas and solutions
-
Reducing conflict among team members or meeting
participants

Keeping egos and “turf protection” in check

meetings that make people want to attend and participate
