The proposal is read out and
then everyone puts one the
following hats in turn:
The White Hat is the
information hat. This covers
facts, figures, information
needs and gaps. People can
ask for more information or
data to help analyze the
proposal.
The Red Hat represents
emotions. This covers
intuition, feelings and
emotions. People have to say
how this proposal makes them
feel emotionally: scared,
threatened, excited,
energized, etc. It is
important to get the
feelings expressed, as they
can be hidden reasons why
people would oppose or
support a proposal.
The Yellow Hat is the hat of
optimism. This is the
logical positive: why
something will work and why
it will offer benefits.
Everyone in turn has to say
what is good about the
proposal.
The Black Hat is the
pessimism hat. This is the
hat of judgment and caution.
Everyone has to find fault
with the idea. Even if it
was your idea and you are
very proud of it you have to
point out some drawbacks and
disadvantages.
The Green Hat is the hat of
growth and possibilities,
creativity, alternatives,
proposals, what is
interesting, provocations
and changes. Everyone has to
suggest ways in which the
idea could be adapted or
improved to make it work
better.
The Blue Hat is the process
hat. This is the overview or
process control hat. It is
used to check if the process
is working well. When you
wear it, you discuss whether
you are using the method in
the most effective way. |
