Group decision making and idea evaluation can lead to conflict and poor judgement if not managed well. If this sounds familiar, then a creativity and problem solving programme geared towards more effective group dynamics is what you need.
The Six Thinking Hats® programme uses techniques from Edward de Bono’s landmark book “Six Thinking Hats®”. The programme teaches a surprisingly simple and proven technique that provides everyone with a format for harnessing enthusiasm, creativity, fact-finding and assessment. This makes every meeting, discussion or decision faster, more focused and more productive. It is delivered by one of Illumine’s certified de Bono trainers.
