      • There are six different imaginary hats that you can put on or take off.

      • We all wear the same hat (do the same type of thinking) at the same time.
      • When we change hats - we change our thinking.
    3. What does each Hat mean? Manages the thinking process, focus, next steps, action plans. Blue Hat Creativity- possibilities, alternatives, solutions, new ideas. Green Hat Difficulties, potential problems- why something may not work. (Disadvantages) Black Hat Values and Benefits- Why something may work. (Advantages) Yellow Hat Feelings. Emotions and Intuition . Red Hat Data, Facts, Information known or needed. White Hat
