The Mixers team provides their experience using the 6 thinking hats method to generate ideas. Their team consists of two members named Lena. They wore the blue hat first to plan their work. With the white hat, they thought of obstacles and came up with 43 ideas to overcome them. The red hat encouraged intuitive ideas about massage, hugs, and warmth. The green hat sparked the idea of telling fairy tales, producing 19 more ideas. When stuck, the yellow hat's optimism helped create 8 more ideas about monsters and pretending to sleep. Upon review with the black hat, some ideas were removed for not working. They found each hat useful and stylish.

1. CREATIVE TEAMS
The Mixers
We provide you our experience in
how to make an assumption using 6
hats.
Our team consists of two members –
two Lenas.

2. • The first hat was
the blue one. We
wore it and
started make a
plan of our work.
We chose place
and time for
working.

3. • When we dressed the white
hat we tried to think what
could be the obstacles for
sleeping. These were simple
decisions: turn off the light,
kill all sounds and etc. In
this way we had 43 ides.

4. • In red hats we thought
on intuitive level. At this
time we had ideas about
massage, cat, hugging,
warm. You can't explain
why but it had to work.
Red

5. • Every obvious ideas
were already wrote
down up to this stage.
So we had to look at
the problem in a new
way. The idea about
asking somebody to
tell a fairy-tail was
born by green hat
methods. It brings us
19 more ideas.

6. • Yellow hat helped us when we came to dead end. It
looked like all ideas were already used and we have
no more. But optimism helped us don’t give up. At
this stage we create ideas of forgetting monsters
under the bed and pretending you are sleeping. It
gives us 8 more ideas.

7. • Dressing black hats we
went throw the list again.
Some ideas we consider as
unnecessary because of
their inability to work. So
we threw out several of
them.

8. • The easiest part was the blue hat
• The hardest one was yellow hat.
• We like each hat.
It’s so stylish!! =)
Sincerely yours, the Mixers
