Overview of six thinking hats

People are constantly learning new knowledge, but they have been using the same logical thinking mode for many years. The traditional mode of thinking is that the more complicated the problems, events, knowledge and factors involved in the research, the more foolproof it is. But no one has ever created a set of methods to teach people to think comprehensively, concisely and quickly. After decades of analysis, summary and research, six thinking hats have created such a brand-new way of thinking, breaking through the traditional single logical thinking mode in one fell swoop. It completely changed the time and efficiency of thinking.

You and your work partner will learn how to divide the thinking process into six important links and roles. Each character corresponds to a thinking hat with a special color. In your mind, you will imagine yourself wearing hats and changing them one by one. It is easy for you to concentrate and reposition your thoughts, conversations and meetings.

The six thinking caps include the following:

Analyze, study and make decisions in a very simple, fast and efficient way.

Look at problems from a systematic perspective, grasp decisions and seize opportunities. Turn problems into opportunities.

In a group or team, use parallel thinking to collect more and better ideas and solutions.

Shorten meeting time and improve meeting efficiency.

Reduce the differences between working partners and participants and make high-quality decisions.

Collect more and better ideas in a short time to stimulate innovation.

Create a dynamic and result-oriented conference atmosphere to attract people to actively participate.

Effectively let more people master the decision-making methods and participate in the decision-making process.

Another obvious solution.

Look for opportunities when others are at a loss when facing problems.

Clear thinking and clear goals. Observe the problem from a brand-new and unique perspective. Make a comprehensive evaluation.

Look at all aspects of the problem.

Keep yourself, verify your territory and get important and meaningful results.

The main function of six thinking hats is to establish a thinking framework for people. Under this framework, thinking according to specific procedures can greatly improve the efficiency of enterprises and individuals, reduce meeting costs (save meeting and decision-making time), and let us separate different aspects of thinking instead of solving all problems at once. Concentrate on analyzing information (white hat), benefits (yellow hat), intuition (red hat) and risk (black hat), so that people can pay enough attention to different aspects of the problem and consider them in turn. Just like a color printer, we first decompose various colors into basic colors, then print each basic color on the same paper, and finally get a comprehensive color thinking about things.
