12. 6 Thinking Hats
White Hat thinking: This covers facts, figures, information needs and gaps. "I
think we need some white hat thinking at this point..." means Let's drop the arguments and
proposals, and look at the data base."
Red Hat thinking: This covers intuition, feelings and emotions. The red hat allows the
thinker to put forward an intuition without any ned to justify it. "Putting on my red hat, I think
this is a terrible proposal." Ususally feelings and intuition can only be introduced into a
discussion if they are supported by logic. Usually the feeling is genuine but the logic is
spurious.The red hat gives full permission to a thinker to put forward his or her feelings on
the subject at the moment.
Black Hat thinking: This is the hat of judgment and caution. It is a most valuable hat. It is
not in any sense an inferior or negative hat. The black hat is used to point out why a
suggestion does not fit the facts, the available experience, the system in use, or the policy
that is being followed. The black hat must always be logical.
Yellow Hat thinking: This is the logical positive. Why something will work and why it will
offer benefits. It can be used in looking forward to the results of some proposed action, but
can also be used to find something of value in what has already happened.
Green Hat thinking: This is the hat of creativity, alternatives, proposals, what is interesting,
provocations and changes.
Blue Hat thinking: This is the overview or process control hat. It looks not at the subject
itself but at the 'thinking' about the subject. "Putting on my blue hat, I feel we should do
some more green hat thinking at this point." In technical terms, the blue hat is concerned
with meta-cognition.
