Thinking Hats Method

The Thinking Hats Method, created by Edward de Bono, is a problem-solving technique that involves looking at a situation from different perspectives by "wearing" different colored hats. Each hat represents a specific way of thinking—such as facts (white), emotions (red), caution (black), optimism (yellow), creativity (green), or process (blue). By switching hats, a group can explore ideas more thoroughly and objectively, ensuring all angles are considered. This structured approach helps improve decision-making, foster creativity, and reduce conflicts during discussions.
