  Edward de Bono’s 6 Thinking HatsThe notion of six thinking hats comes from

Edward De Bono. It is a simple and effective system that increases productivity. There are

six metaphorical hats and each defines a certain type of thinking. You can put on or

take off one of these hats to indicate the type of thinking you are using. This putting on and taking off is essential, because it allows you to switch from one type of thinking to another.

When done in a group, everybody should wear the same hat at the same time. In this

system, thinking is divided into six categories with each category identified with its own

coloured metaphorical “thinking hat”.Organisation that use the “Six Thinking Hats”

system report that their teams are more productive and in general “happier and

healthier”.

The White Hat – calls for information, known or needed. “The facts, just the facts.”The Red Hat – signifies feelings, hunches and intuition - the place where emotion are placed without explanation.

The Black Hat – signifies caution and critical thinking – do not overuse! Why something may not work.

The Yellow Hat – symbolizes brightness and optimism. You can explore the positives and probe for value and benefit.

The Green Hat – focuses on creativity, possibilities, alternatives and new ideas. It is an opportunity to express new concepts and new perceptions – later thinking could be used here.The Blue Hat: is used to manage the thinking process and clarifies which kind of thinking is going on. It ensures that the “Six Thinking Hats” guidelines are observed.

Why Hats?• He that has He head needs no hat – Тому, у кого головы

нет, и шапка не нужна.• Stop talking through your hat, you look stupid! –

Перестань нести чушь, ты выглядишь очень глупо!• This kitten is as black as his hat. – Этот котенок чернее

черного.• I’m really sorry, but I can’t lend the money. I am in the

hat now. – Мне правда очень жаль, но я не могу одолжить тебе денег. Я сам сейчас в затруднительном положении.
