14. Edward de Bono’s
SIX THINKING HATS
FOR PLANNING YOUR PROJECT
• The red hat signifies feelings, hunches and intuition – the place where
emotions are placed without explanation.
• The blue hat is used to manage the thinking process. It ensures that
the ’Six thinking hats’ guidelines are observed.
• The yellow hat symbolizes brightness and optimism. You can explore
the positives and probe for value and benefit.
• The green hat focuses on creativity, possibilities, alternatives and new
ideas. It is an opportunity to express new concepts and new
perceptions – lateral thinking could be used here.
• The black hat signifies caution and critical thinking – do not overuse!
Why something may not work.
• The white hat calls for information known or needed. ”The facts, just
the facts”.

15. THE RED HAT
10 MINUTES OF DISCUSSION AND NOTES
Wearing the red hat allows you to put forward your feelings
and intuitions without the need for justification, explanation
or apology.
Putting on the red hat, you express what you feel about the
project…

16. THE WHITE HAT
10 MINUTES OF DISCUSSION AND NOTES
Calls for information known or needed – gathering just the
facts.
Wearing your white hat allows you to present information in
a neutral and objective way.
Proposals, opinions, beliefs and arguments should be put
aside!

17. THE GREEN HAT
10 MINUTES OF DISCUSSION AND NOTES
The green hat is specifically concerned with creating new
ideas and new ways of looking at things:
• Creative thinking
• Additional alternatives
• Putting forward possibilities and hypotheses
• Interesting proposals
• New approaches
• Provocations and changes

18. THE BLACK HAT
10 MINUTES OF DISCUSSION AND NOTES
Wearing the black hat allows you to consider your proposals
critically and logically.
The black hat is used to reflect on why a suggestion
does not fit the facts, the available experience,
or the system in use.
Judgement, caution and evaluation

19. THE YELLOW HAT
10 MINUTES OF DISCUSSION AND NOTES
Wearing the yellow hat allows you to look for benefits,
feasibility and how something can be done.
Yellow hat thinking is a deliberate search for the positive.
Benefits are not always immediately obvious and you might
have to search for them.
Every creative idea deserves some yellow hat attention :)

20. THE BLUE HAT
10 MINUTES OF DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION
The blue hat is for organizing and controlling the thinking
process so that it becomes more productive.
In this case wearing a blue hat you can ask for a summary,
conclusion, or decision:
What did we benefit from using these six thinking hats?
How should we proceed with these ideas?

Jokaista työstetään niin, että koko ryhmä laittaa kymmeneksi minuutiksi tietyn hatun päähän ja keskustelee sen näkökulmasta omasta projektistaan. Tuon kymmenen minuutin ajan pitää pitää tietty näkökulma, josta ei saa päästää irti!Eri väriset paperit!
