Thinking in Color: The Revolutionary Six Hats Method
Imagine walking into a meeting where arguments fly, emotions run high, and progress stalls. Now picture that same meeting transformed - participants seamlessly exploring facts, expressing feelings, evaluating risks, finding benefits, generating creative solutions, and organizing the process without conflict. This transformation isn't fantasy but reality through Edward de Bono's Six Thinking Hats method. This approach has cut meeting times by 75% at IBM and helped solve a $100,000-per-day oil rig problem in just twelve minutes. From corporations like Microsoft to preschool classrooms, this method represents the first fundamental change to human thinking in over 2,300 years, challenging the argumentative Western thinking tradition established by Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. Our brains struggle when trying to be creative, analytical, factual, and emotional simultaneously. Research shows that attempting to juggle multiple thinking modes can reduce our effectiveness in each by up to 40%. The Western thinking tradition focuses primarily on argument, critique, and "what is" rather than "what could be." While this tradition has served scientific advancement and logical reasoning well, it neglects the constructive, creative aspects of thinking that design ways forward. Many cultures, particularly in Asia, find argument aggressive and non-constructive, which explains their ready adoption of parallel thinking through the Six Hats method. Instead of four people arguing about which side of a house represents the "correct" view, parallel thinking has them all walk together to each side, examining the same perspective simultaneously.
