Edward De Bono- 6 thinking hats

Six Thinking Hats is a book by Edward de Bono. The term Six Thinking Hats is also used to describe the tool for group discussion and individual thinking that is the subject of the book.Combined with the idea of parallel thinking which is associated with it, the thinking hat tool provides a means for groups to think together more effectively, and a means to plan thinking processes in a detailed and cohesive way.

Basically each coloured hat reprosents a different way of thinking and each hat has its own meaning. (shown below)

I found it hard to understand some of these techniques but found them very usefull to use in the future while trying to come up with ideas for other projects.

Here is a clear video explaing 6 thinking hats in a more detailed way.
