Edward de Bono's Six Thinking Hats is a powerful tool for structured thinking and group discussions.
Blue & White Hats: In the context of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI), the Blue hat and White hat can play crucial roles in initiating conversations and fostering a more inclusive environment. By incorporating the thinking of both hats into EDI discussions, you can create a structured and inclusive environment where participants feel encouraged to engage in meaningful conversations. The Blue ensures a well-guided and respectful dialogue, while the White provides a foundation of factual information to inform and shape the discussion.
Yellow & Black Hats: using these two hate we can evaluate our work habits through two distinct lenses. The yellow hat encourages us to explore the positives and the black hat prompts us to critically examine the flaws within our routines. By employing both hats, we gain a balanced perspective, allowing us to reinforce effective habits while addressing and improving upon areas of weakness. This approach fosters self-awareness and empowers us to optimize our work habits for greater efficiency and success.
