“I cannot recommend de Bono Consulting's Six Thinking Hats and Lateral Training enough. I used the tools and techniques learned immediately during a strategic ideation workshop I facilitated with my top client - a large multi-national company. They absolutely loved the results. The participants gave the Six Thinking Hats method a 10 out of 10 on their post-workshop evaluations. -Sylven Reed, Sylven Strategies Consulting, Kailua, HI
