Parallel thinking

Parallel Thinking is a collaborative approach where a group focuses on exploring multiple perspectives or solutions simultaneously rather than debating or critiquing each other's ideas. This method encourages participants to think laterally, allowing them to develop a variety of options without the pressure of immediate judgment. Each person contributes their thoughts in a structured manner, often using tools like hats to represent different types of thinking (e.g., facts, emotions, creativity). By thinking in parallel, the group can generate more creative and effective solutions while fostering a supportive environment for discussion and innovation.
