Introduction

Working at a company that tries out new management practices, like the Six Thinking Hats Method, must be highly rewarding.

In 1985, Edward de Bono came up with this way of structuring the thinking process of managers and teams, to help them dissect thoughts into useful categories – six different hats that managers and their teams can take turns wearing.

  1. Blue – Management.

  2. White – Information.

  3. Red – Emotions.

  4. Black – Caution.

  5. Yellow – Optimism.

  6. Green – Creativity.

This helps members of an organization align their mental processes so that they can solve problems with parallel thinking.
