The document discusses the Six Thinking Hats technique created by Dr. Edward de Bono. The technique helps individuals and groups look at decisions from six different perspectives represented by colored hats - white (facts), red (emotions), black (caution), yellow (optimism), green (creativity), and blue (control). Wearing each hat in turn focuses thinking on that particular viewpoint. The Six Thinking Hats is a tool for lateral and creative thinking that allows all perspectives to be considered to help make better, more informed decisions.
