This course introduces learners to the Six Thinking Hats method—an innovative thinking model developed by Edward de Bono. The method allows individuals and teams to explore different perspectives, foster creativity, and approach problem-solving more objectively. Each “hat” represents a different type of thinking, enabling structured and balanced discussions.

In fast-paced work environments, decisions are often made under pressure and from limited perspectives. The Six Thinking Hats technique provides a framework to separate emotions, logic, creativity, caution, and objectivity in the decision-making process. This structured thinking enhances clarity, teamwork, and innovation in both individual and group settings.
