Collaborative Decision Making: using Six Thinking Hats - Tuesday 24 September
From: Kathy Adam-Cross
Valid from: Tuesday 27 August 2019 to Saturday 21 September 2019
Six Thinking Hats (created by Edward De Bono) is a powerful technique that helps us improve our decision-making and communication by encouraging different perspectives. Many of us tend to have a dominant thinking style that becomes stronger each time we use it. Other styles of thinking or states tend to be underutilised, even though they may be more appropriate to the situation.
To make it easier to identify and work with these other styles/states, coloured hats are used as a metaphor to describe different ways of thinking and include the following:
White Hat - Facts and information
Red Hat - Feelings and emotion
Black Hat - Critical judgement
Yellow Hat - Sunny optimism
Green Hat - Creative and innovative
Blue Hat - Thinking about thinking
In this highly practical course, we will employ the concept of Six Thinking Hats to scenarios and situations relevant to the participants. Participants will discover a range of situations in which Six Thinking Hats can be used, such as team meetings, coaching, goal-setting and planning processes.
This course will enable you to:
* Explore the difference between habitual thinking and flexibility thinking
* Apply the Six Thinking Hats to individual and team decision-making
* Develop strategies to implement the Six Thinking Hats in the workplace
