Black Hat thinking focuses on logical arguments and criticism to play the role of devil's advocate. It aims to show why something may not work by generating alternatives and possibilities rather than focusing on emotions. Good Black Hat thinking uses facts that are correct, relevant, and stand on their own to balance optimistic thinking and avoid potential mistakes. It is an important part of the thinking process but should be used judiciously.
- Hindustan Motors (HM) launched India's first car, the Ambassador, in 1942 which dominated the market for 40 years until the 1980s.
- The launch of the Maruti 800 by Maruti Suzuki in 1983 at a significantly lower price caused Ambassador's market share to drop from 75% to 20% between 1984-1991.
- Increased competition from foreign competitors entering the Indian market after economic liberalization in 1991 along with changing consumer preferences for modern and technologically advanced vehicles contributed to the decline of HM and the Ambassador brand.
The document discusses the Six Thinking Hats method for structured thinking and discussion. Each hat represents a different perspective or thinking style - the Yellow Hat focuses on optimism and benefits, the Green Hat explores creativity and new ideas, the Blue Hat manages the thinking process, the Red Hat expresses intuition and feelings, the Black Hat critiques and points out flaws, and the White Hat provides just the facts. Wearing different hats allows people to easily shift perspectives and think from different angles.
The document discusses the Six Thinking Hats framework developed by Edward de Bono. It involves looking at decisions from six perspectives represented by colored hats: white for facts, green for creativity, yellow for optimism, black for caution, red for feelings, and blue for process control. Each hat corresponds to a type of thinking - rational, speculative, positive, negative, intuitive, and procedural. Using the hats helps ensure decisions are examined from different angles to avoid biases and result in more informed solutions. The framework is used in business and education to improve critical and lateral thinking.
The Six Thinking Hats technique developed by Edward de Bono provides a simple and effective framework to experiment with different perspectives and thinking styles. There are six metaphorical hats - white (facts), yellow (optimism), black (caution), red (feelings), green (creativity), and blue (process control) - that represent distinct modes of thinking. By deliberately focusing thinking under each hat, it allows individuals and groups to consider challenges from different angles to arrive at better solutions and decisions. The technique aims to improve productivity, move beyond habitual thinking patterns, and incorporate both logic and emotion into rational decision making processes.
The document describes the six thinking hats method for structured thinking and discussion. It involves wearing metaphorical hats with different colors to represent types of thinking. The six hats are: blue for control/process, white for objective facts, red for emotions/feelings, black for caution/risks, yellow for optimism/benefits, and green for creativity/new ideas. When wearing a colored hat, people are only allowed to think from that perspective to avoid confusion and encourage different viewpoints. The goal is structured, comprehensive thinking to make better decisions.
The 6 Thinking hats ensures that groups think together in a focused manner, staying on task, & ensures that they focus their efforts on the most important elements of any issue being discussed.
“Thinking is the ultimate human resource. Yet we can never be satisfied with our most important skill. No matter how good we become, we should always want to be better”
Edward de Bono
In his book "Six Thinking Hats" Edward de Bono presents a simple but effective way to become a better thinker. He separates thinking into six distinct modes, identified with six coloured "thinking hats"

The document discusses the Six Thinking Hats method for instructional design. It represents six different types or directions of thinking with different colored hats: white for facts, black for problems, red for intuition, green for creativity, yellow for benefits, and blue for process management. For each hat, it provides examples of how an instructional designer could apply that type of thinking to analyzing content, assessing risks, generating ideas, justifying approaches, and planning the project workflow. The overall process encourages exploring all perspectives at once to make balanced, well-informed decisions.
Six Thinking Hats is a technique that structures group discussion and individual thinking by assigning a colored "hat" to represent six different perspectives. Each participant wears the same colored hat at a given time to focus thinking from a single viewpoint. The perspectives are white (facts), red (emotions), black (caution), yellow (optimism), green (creativity), and blue (organization and control of the process). The technique aims to improve thinking by addressing different modes of thought in a structured, systematic way.
This document discusses the Six Thinking Hats exercise which involves thinking about a topic from six different perspectives represented by colored hats. It provides details on each hat: Blue represents process/meta thinking, Red is feelings, Yellow focuses on benefits, Black looks at risks/judgment, White deals with facts/data, and Green encourages creativity/alternatives. It notes that Blue and Yellow tend to be the most comfortable hats while Black and White are least comfortable as they involve more negative or detached thinking styles.
This document introduces the Six Thinking Hats technique developed by Edward de Bono to help people think about ideas from different perspectives. The six hats represent different thinking styles - white for objective facts, red for emotions, black for caution/criticism, yellow for optimism, green for creativity, and blue for organization and process control. Using the hats involves focusing thinking within each style for a period of time to allow for a well-rounded consideration of an issue from multiple angles before deciding on a solution. The technique aims to avoid habitual thinking patterns and incorporate different viewpoints.
The document summarizes Edward De Bono's book "Six Thinking Hats" which presents a method for group discussion and decision making. The method involves assigning a colored "thinking hat" to represent six different perspectives: white for objective facts, red for emotions, black for caution, yellow for optimism, green for creativity, and blue for organization. By switching between hats, groups can examine ideas from different angles to make better decisions. The hats help structure discussions, avoid bias, and allow for parallel thinking to fully explore all aspects of an issue.
The document introduces Edward de Bono's method of parallel thinking using six colored thinking hats. Each hat represents a different perspective or thought process: white for objective facts, red for emotions, black for caution, yellow for benefits, green for creative ideas, and blue for organization and control. The six hats method structures group discussions to consider an issue from different angles in a set sequence, allowing for a more comprehensive analysis that incorporates logic, creativity, and feelings. Applying the hats helps remove ego and confrontation from problem solving so groups can effectively generate, evaluate, and implement solutions.
1. The document discusses various types of thinking including critical thinking, creative thinking, linear thinking, and random thinking.
2. It contrasts critical thinking and creative thinking, noting that critical thinking involves analysis and judgment while creative thinking is expansive, non-judgmental, and focuses on developing unique ideas.
3. The document presents models for thinking including the kayak with two paddles representing critical and creative thinking, and the six thinking hats method which categorizes different types of thinking into white, red, black, yellow, green, and blue hats.
The 6 Thinking Hats technique developed by Edward De Bono separates critical thinking into 6 colored "hats" representing different perspectives or modes of thinking. The main idea is for a group to consider a problem or topic while only "wearing" one hat's perspective at a time. The hats are White (facts), Red (emotions), Black (caution), Yellow (optimism), Green (creativity), and Blue (process). Various hat sequences can be used - for example, Yellow then Black to evaluate an idea by considering positives then negatives. The document provides examples of hat activities and thinking sequences to structure discussions and problem solving.
