    How to Use the Tool:


    You can use Six Thinking Hats in meetings or

    on your own. In meetings it has the benefit of blocking the confrontations that happen when people with different thinking styles discuss the same problem.

    Six thinking hats:

    White hat: Facts.


    The White Hat calls for information known or

    needed. "The facts, just the facts." With this thinking hat you focus on the data available. Look at the information you have, and see what you can learn from it. Look for gaps in your knowledge, and either try to fill them or take account of them. This is where you analyze past trends, and try to extrapolate from historical data.

    Yellow hat: Benefits.


    The Yellow Hat symbolizes brightness and

    optimism. The yellow hat helps you to think positively. It is the optimistic viewpoint that helps you to see all the benefits of the decision and the value in it. Yellow Hat thinking helps you to keep going when everything looks gloomy and difficult.

    Black hat: cautions.


    Using black hat thinking, look at all the bad

    points of the decision. Look at it cautiously and defensively. Try to see why it might not work. This is important because it highlights the weak points in a plan. It allows you to eliminate them, alter them, or prepare contingency plans to counter them.

    Red hat: Feelings


    The Red Hat signifies feelings, hunches and

    intuition. When using this hat you can express emotions and feelings and share fears, likes, dislikes, loves, and hates. Try to understand the responses of people who do not fully know your reasoning.

    Green hat: creativity.


    The Green Hat focuses on creativity; the

    possibilities, alternatives, and new ideas. It's an opportunity to express new concepts and new perceptions.

    Blue hat: process.


    The Blue Hat is used to manage the thinking

    process. It's the control mechanism that ensures the Six Thinking Hats guidelines are observed. The Blue Hat stands for process control. This is the hat worn by people chairing meetings. When running into difficulties because ideas are running dry, they may direct activity into Green Hat thinking. When contingency plans are needed, they will ask for Black Hat thinking, etc.
