The Six Thinking Hats

An interesting session on "Creativity Tool" was conducted today by Shiva of HR Department. The principle of the session is to organise your thinking power and thereby generate ideas in a structured way.

In simple "If you are given a apple and asked to cut into pieces, What will you do? " . You may say "What is there in it , I will take a knife and cut into proper pieces" . But if u r not given knife then u may break with u r hands or may stab it against wall to get into pieces.

Thats how the Six Thinking Hats differs from normal thinking. It is the tool (like knife) .
This is the first tool I learnt for thinking. What about You?

Here is the Concept of that
White Hat - gives information (What I know ? What i need to know?)
Yellow Hat - gives positive ideas
Black Hat - gives negative ideas
Red Hat - expresses the feelings
Green Hat - Solutions to Black & Enhancements to White Hat
Blue Hat- Organiser

Manoj!

I can explain u.

U must assume that u r wearing only one hat at a time. Suppose if u r wearing a Black Hat, u must speak only about negative points.

eg:If Problem Topic is "Going For Picnic to Moonar"
then while wearing Black Hat, you can say:
"It is rainy there"
"Some of us may be missed or lost"

U can refer book "The Six Thinking Hats" to get more on this.
