What Six Thinking Hats does

name: six-thinking-hats description: Edward de Bono's parallel thinking framework. Run any problem, decision, or idea through all six hats for a complete 360-degree view, or call a single hat when you need one specific mode.

Six Thinking Hats

Edward de Bono's framework for parallel thinking. Instead of arguing from fixed positions, every thinker wears the same hat at the same time and thinks in the same direction. The hats separate the modes. Facts stay separate from feelings. Risks
