Replace One-Dimensional Thinking With Six-Dimensional Thinking!
Six Thinking Hats separates the different types of thinking-emotions from facts, positive from negative, critical from creative. As a result, people look at problems from the same perspective at the same time. This organized approach (often called Parallel Thinking) keeps people focused, and unleashes the brainpower of everyone involved.
You will improve decision-making, lead better meetings, generate more and better ideas, and see how Six Thinking Hats is used with Six Sigma projects.
