The document discusses the Six Thinking Hats technique created by Edward de Bono to improve creative thinking and decision making. It introduces the technique and explains that it involves classifying thinking into six colors or "hats" - white (facts), red (emotions), black (caution), yellow (positive benefits), green (creativity), and blue (control). Using the hats helps structure discussions and avoid arguments by focusing thinking on one aspect at a time. The document outlines the benefits of the technique in maximizing intelligence and saving time in discussions. It provides details on how to use each hat and includes testimonials on companies that have successfully applied Six Thinking Hats.

Six Thinking Hats is a self-help book which describes a tool for group discussion and individual thinking involving six colored hats. "Six Thinking Hats" and the associated idea parallel thinking provide a means for groups to plan thinking processes in a detailed and cohesive way, and in doing so to think together more effectively.
Coloured hats are used as metaphors for each direction. Switching to a direction is symbolized by the act of putting on a coloured hat, either literally or metaphorically. These metaphors allow for a more complete and elaborate segregation of the thinking directions. The six thinking hats indicate problems and solutions about an idea the thinker may come up with.
