Six Thinking Hats® Collaborative thinking for more productive meetings
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.
Within one day we have learned valuable techniques on how to conduct meetings and effectively solve problems.
Six Thinking Hats is now available as a public workshop in Central London. If you are looking for a course featuring other creative thinking techniques please take a look at Creativity for Logical Thinkers. Find out more...
