6 Thinking Hats

For the first class the lecture were talking about 6 thinking hats. Thus here is my reflection on this topic.

So Six Thinking Hats it's a book by Edward de Bono.

White hat thinking - This covers facts, data and figures.

Red hat thinking - This signifies feelings, intuition, gut, and emotion.

Yellow hat thinking - Yellow hat symbolizes brightness and optimism. This is the logical positive.

Black hat thinking - This is the hat of judgment and caution. It also known as negative hat.

Green Hat thinking - This is the hat of creativity, alternatives, proposals, what is interesting, provocations and changes. Its gives opportunity to create or express new idea/concept.

Blue hat thinking -  Blue hat focuses on managing the thinking process, next step and actions or plans. 

These six metaphorical hats is an powerful tool because it helps to analyze an issue/problem, generate ideas and coming out good solution. 
This technique teaches parallel thinking ( defined as thinking process where focus is split in specific directions).
