A Creativity Tool Kit for Results Driven Groups

What: Six Thinking Hats is a time-tested tool that boosts creative and innovative thinking performance. It provides a framework to focus and broaden thinking by separating out six different ingredients in thinking: white hat-information, yellow hat-benefits, black hat-risk, green hat-idea generation, red hat-gut instinct, and blue hat-process. Robust creative thinking depends upon a thinker's ability to think clearly, think creatively, think thoroughly, and to tap the unique thinking of each team member.

Learn to Improve Collaboration: Each person uses the same tool, at the same time, on the same challenge--focused parallel thinking. Put an end to endless debate, argument, and discussions that are going nowhere. Save everyone time. End up with solutions that are doable and supported.

Results: A Statoil drilling manager presents his problem as a case study. The group solves his problem using the Six Thinking Hats tool kit. The drilling goes on and millions are saved. With hindsight, a genial solution not planned and not foreseeable in advance.

During the Deep Dive Learn and Practice How To:

Break the idea killer habit that shuts down the creative process.
Follow a productive process for idea evaluation.
Work with benefits to determine if an idea is worth exploring further.
Identify and assess problems at the appropriate places in the creative process.
Consider a broader range of possible solutions, and select the ones that best meet the business need.
Include "gut instinct" reactions.
Break the tendency to get stuck in the data and facts-information overload which constrains creative effort.
Set up clear focus statements to put each person on the same page and avoid confusion.
