The document describes Edward de Bono's Six Thinking Hats method for structured thinking and group decision making. The method involves assigning six colored "hats" to represent six different perspectives or modes of thinking: white for facts, red for feelings, black for caution, yellow for benefits, green for alternatives, and blue for process control. By deliberately focusing thinking through different hat colors, groups can explore ideas from multiple angles to make better decisions and be more creative and productive in their discussions. The Six Thinking Hats technique aims to improve exploration of problems, save time in discussions, and help both individuals and groups think in a more comprehensive way.
