    Dr. Edward De Bono developed the concept of Six Thinking Hats as a technique to help groups think about ideas from different perspectives. The six hats represent six different thinking styles or viewpoints: Blue Hat focuses on process, White Hat deals with obtaining and analyzing facts without judgment, Green Hat encourages creative thinking, Red Hat represents feelings and intuition, Black Hat looks for weaknesses and potential problems, and Yellow Hat maintains optimism and sees potential benefits. Using the technique, groups systematically examine ideas using one perspective at a time to gain a well-rounded understanding before making decisions.

    Good afternoon everyone my name is divyanshu gupta me and shivani are going to

    present a book called 6 thinking hats by Dr. Edward De bono


    Next slide
    . Dr. Edward De bono was born in Malta and graduated from the University of Malta.
    He is a world-known expert in creative thinking. Nominated for the Nobel Prize for
    Economics in 2005, Edward de Bono is regarded by many as the leading authority in
    the field of creative thinking, innovation and the direct teaching of thinking as a skill.
    He is equally renowned for his development of the Six Thinking Hats technique and
    the Direct Attention Thinking Tools. He is the originator of the concept of Lateral
    Thinking, which is now part of language and is listed in the Oxford English Dictionary .

    His famous books are


    I Am Right You Are Wrong
    Teach Yourself to Think.
    Lateral Thinking : Creativity Step by Step
    Next slide
    Concept of 6 thinking hats
    This technique will help you experiment with different ways of thinking and to see
    your idea from different angles. This forces you to move outside your habitual
    thinking style, and helps you to get a more rounded view of a situation. The main idea
    is to have the group only “wear one hat at a time” when considering a problem. The
    wearing of the hat is metaphorical. At any one time, everyone will wear the same
    colour and look at the problem from only one perspective, the perspective indicated
    by the hat colour.
    Next question is
    Why Six Thinking Hats?
    Many people think from a very rational, positive viewpoint. Often, though, they may
    fail to look at a problem from an emotional, intuitive, creative or negative viewpoint.
    The six hats represent six types of thinking. You 'wear' one of these hats to help you
    think about an idea in a particular way.
    Now I will talk about Traditional thinking and parallel thinking
    Traditional thinking is

    ● Take sides. Opposite point of view.


    ● Argue your point
    ● Prove other side wrong
    This is all traditional type of thinking
    What is parallel thinking ?
    • At any moment everyone is looking in the same direction.
    • Each thinker puts forward his or her thoughts in parallel with the thoughts of others
    • Guides thought processes in one direction at a time so we can effectively analyse
    issues, generate new ideas, and make better decisions.
    Blue hat
    Whenever you start a brainstorming session, first put on the blue hat. It’s the hat
    to think about thinking. Think of it as zooming out and getting a 10,000 foot view
    on the problem you’re tackling first.

    Since you’re setting up the perimeter of your team effort here, one group
    member, usually the leader or facilitator of the meeting, will have to keep
    wearing the blue hat throughout the session, to make sure everyone sticks to the
    rules.

    For example, project managers responsible for pulling together many


    elements to complete a project could be said to wear a Blue Hat!
    The White Thinking Hat

    This thinking hat is focused on information. So, they collect this data and information
    to guide the team’s decision-making and efficiency. The white hat is neutral and
    objective. That means they should not be passing judgment while wearing this hat.
    Instead, white hats are merely collecting. 

    The author offers an example to help you remember the information-oriented nature
    of white hats. He explains that paper is generally white and we use paper to write
    information. So, white hats write facts on white papers.

    Green Hat
    This hat aims to create the solution to the problems. The green hat
    is also responsible for answering the statement of provocation and
    investigation. So, they investigate and seek solutions, ideas and
    alternative possibilities.

    De Bono takes time to explain what he means by the statement of


    provocation. This may immediately sound like you are starting an
    argument. The reality is that the statement of provocation is about
    proposing hypotheses or scenarios and seeing where they go. For
    example, if Superman fought with Incredible Hulk, who would win?
    That is a statement of provocation. It provides the team with a spark
    to start thinking in an interesting way and offer alternative
    viewpoints.

    Over to you Shivani


    Red Thinking Hat
    The red thinking hat pays attention to their feelings and responds
    accordingly. While wearing this hat, you should be relying on your
    gut reactions. You do not need to justify your intuitions or gut
    reactions. Instead, just provide statements based on how you feel. 
    This hat is all about expressing how you feel in every moment. It is
    fine to have a change in your emotional state. For example, you
    might dislike the sound of an idea at first but then change your
    mind. Instead of worrying about seeming inconsistent, De Bono
    suggests you state every change in your emotions.

    Black Hat
    As their name suggests, black hat thinkers look at the potentially negative
    outcomes of a decision. They’re cautious and look for reasons why something
    might not work, asking questions like:
    Black hat thinking covers bad point judgment. Logic is applied to
    identifying flaws, barriers and obstacles. The black hat is also
    concerned with difficulties, weaknesses and dangers that you might
    face. The crucial point is that while wearing the black hat, you have
    to give justification for all judgments. You have to give your logical
    reasoning. Based on this point, black hat thinking is the opposite of
    red hat thinking.

    Example: When we wear black hats, it’s time to talk about what can go wrong.
    What are the reasons why a deadline extension might not work? How can the
    request for additional budget money cause problems?

    Yellow Hat
    Yellow hats are fun to be around because they are perpetual optimists. They
    are quick to see the benefits of a decision and will keep you going when
    everything is bleak and giving up is the least difficult option.

    It helps wearers to think positively about potential outcomes,


    seek the merits of an idea, and reach an optimistic assessment
    of how it can work. This hat helps maintain momentum and a
    positive spirit in the face of a challenging situation.
