The document discusses using De Bono's six thinking hats model for a team interaction. It begins by asking team members to reflect on which hat is most comfortable (black and white) and least comfortable (red) for them. It then asks them to try on different hats in their next interaction and describe the experience. The presentation models using the different hats to discuss an individual assignment, pointing out facts (white), criticisms (black), feelings (red), benefits (yellow), and concluding with a parting insight about whether the six hats were truly needed.

Reflections of the course and the

2. Introduction
In this presentation I would like to share with all
of the team the individual assignment.
expectations, frustrations, interest ,challenge
and insights from the course and the team
work/process through using De Bono six hats.

3.  What hat color is most comfortable
for you?
Answer: Black & White
• The White Hat calls for information known or needed.
"The facts, just the facts."
• The Black Hat is judgment - the devil's advocate or why
something may not work. Spot the difficulties and
dangers; where things might go wrong. Probably the
most powerful and useful of the Hats but a problem if
overused.

4.  What is the least comfortable for
you?
Answer: Red hat
The Red Hat signifies feelings, hunches and
intuition. When using this hat you can express
emotions and feelings and share fears, likes,
dislikes, loves, and hates.

5.  In your next team interaction, try
on several different "hats" and see
how they feel. Briefly describe the
experience.
Well, This presentation is all about…

6. Why did I decided to share the
individual assignment with you?
• To let you know how I feel and what I think
[That what friends are for, isn’t it ?]
• To experiment the tool [six hats]
• To evaluate as a team the effectiveness of the
tool [your feedback is most welcome]
• …hope it will improve our work [process and
outcome]

7. …one more point before I start…
Why did I choose to present in that
manner? [PPT]
Options:
 Word file - boring, uninterested
No one likes to read tons of information
 Video – time consuming
PPT – easy, focused,

8. So lets start….White hat
Reminder:
The White Hat calls for information known or
needed. "The facts, just the facts."
The fact is [from my point of view] that I still
don’t understand the structure of the
mindmiester tool

9. The problem:At night you worry
about uncertain future
• What does the text in the white tags represent?
Solutions ? Cause and effects ?
• Will we move to part 3 [one creative solution ]
based on this diagram ?

10. On the other hand…too much
information [not relevant…]

11. black hat
Reminder:
The Black Hat is judgment - the devil's advocate
or why something may not work. Spot the
difficulties and dangers; where things might go
wrong. Probably the most powerful and useful
of the Hats but a problem if overused.

12. Criticizing the venture lab system
format for team communication
Where to find the latest posts you
sent ?
Where to reply/respond ?

13. Criticizing the venture lab system format for team
communication
• Every morning I check my mail
Where to reply/respond ?
• for example: i reply through my e-mail as a reply
to one of the e-mails i received [from whom?]
and after posting i am not sure to where in the
"conversation" it will appear.
• Am i totally wrong ? or it is only my problem?

14. Did you received it ?
• It was sent directly from my e-mail and only
after I realize that it dosn’t appear in
conversation box .

15. Red hat
• Reminder:
The Red Hat signifies feelings, hunches and
intuition. When using this hat you can express
emotions and feelings and share fears, likes,
dislikes, loves, and hates.

16. Did you received it ?

17. yellow hat
Words of optimism-
What are the benefits?
What are the positives?
What are the values?
Can this be made to work?
Answer: I am learning a lot about online
discussions…and about myself.

18. One last word….[just an insight]
• I wonder if all of this could not have been
done without using De bono six hats
What do you think ?

19. Thank you for your patience
