  8. How many of you have experienced: • Different parties deadlocked on an issue, causing delays in decisions and actions? • Challenges making complex decisions? • A nagging feeling that you haven’t considered an issue from all angles? • Working with a group who is experiencing a biased view of a particular issue, failing to see it from all angles? • Surprised when an unexpected “kink” arises in your best laid plans? • Failing to appropriately plan? • Failure to anticipate/mitigate hurdles, potholes or risks?

  9. Learning Outcomes • Describe the 6 Thinking Hats Method • Summarize what each of the 6 Thinking Hats stands for • Articulate 3 reasons that the 6 Thinking Hats method is effective • Discuss ways in which to use the 6 Thinking Hats approach • Share how the 6 Thinking Hats technique can be used to consider and address different types of problems • Identify how the 6 Thinking Hats technique can be used in various combinations

  10. “I myself have 12 hats, and each one represents a different personality. Why just be yourself?” Author Margaret Atwood

  11. “One very important aspect of motivation is the willingness to stop and to look at things that no one else has bothered to look at. This simple process of focusing on things that are normally taken for granted is a powerful source of creativity.” Creator of Six Thinking Hats, Edward de Bono

  12. Organization & Planning Pros; Benefits Drawbacks; Cautions Intuition; Thinking Information & Data New Ideas & Solutions

  13. Let’s Practice In the US it is estimated that 10% of adolescent girls have an eating disorder. In order to combat the problem, a school curriculum is being developed for a community outside Los Angeles, in which girls attend special classes and read books and articles which address the influence of media on body image/eating disorders. • What facts do you know about this issue? • What is your gut reaction about this idea? • Why is it a good idea? • Why might it not work? • What are some alternatives or new possibilities?

  14. Congratulations – we just utilized the 6 Hats Thinking Method • What facts do you know about this issue? • What is my gut reaction about this idea? • Why is it a good idea? • Why might it not work? • What are some alternatives or new possibilities?

  15. Let’s take a tour of the Hats: Green Hat Ideas, alternative, possibilities Solutions Suggestions Proposals

  16. Let’s take a tour of the Hats: Green Hat Soda and fast food corporations market directly to children. Pediatricians recently lobbied the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to better regulate the industry, but the food companies have spent millions lobbying against stricter guidelines. What are some new and creative ways to solve this problem?

  17. Yellow Hat Positives, plus points Logical reasons Why an idea is useful

  18. Let’s try the Yellow Hat What are the benefits of providing school-based health care and other services to children?

  19. Black Hat Difficulties, weaknesses, cautions Spotting the risks Logical Consequences “why it might not work”

  20. Let’s Try the Black Hat Identify the drawbacks of a state tax on sweetened beverages to help reduce dental decay and obesity.

  21. Red Hat Intuition, hunches, gut instinct My feelings right now Feelings can change Not about reasons Hunches Warm or cold

  22. Let’s try the Red Hat Annotate the screen with your feelings about this picture

  23. White Hat Information and data Neutral and objective What do I know? What do I need to find out? What questions will I ask? How will I get the information I need?

  24. Let’s try the White Hat What information do you have about this picture? What more do you want to know?

  25. Blue Hat How does the Six Thinking Hat process work? What thinking is needed? Organizing the thinking Planning for action Check-ins; summaries Which hat is worn next?

  26. Small Team Activity • You will be assigned a challenge • Come up with an idea or solution to address the challenge • Select 2-3 Thinking Hats you’d apply to evaluate your idea; ex: • Blue + White = create structure for a project • Green + Yellow = sales and influencing • How would you sequence the hats in order to evaluate your solution or idea? • Avoid solving the problem • There’s no right or wrong - this is just about expanding our creativity

  27. Team 1 • Stress and Depression are related to smoking in girls. Girls typically begin to smoke because of feelings of maturity, independence, sociability.

  28. Team 2 • Young girls get targeted by bullies for being different or because they don’t fight back. Often, girls who are bullied don’t know how to stop the bullying, so they go along with it.

  29. Team 3 • Peer pressure for girls to fit in is so strong, they can lose touch with their innate sense of self-worth. Girls are often judged by other girls on their looks, clothing, friends and socio economic status.

  30. Team 4 • Children watch on average 937 hours of television each year; since 1970, obesity rates have more than quadrupled in girls ages 6 to 11. Billions are spent annually on diseases related to physical inactivity.

  31. Team 5 A survey recently asked 12- and 13-year-old girls, "Have you had a bad experience online that made you nervous about going to school the next day?" More than one in four 12- and 13-year-old girls said yes - the highest rate of any other group. Another survey found that when girls ages 8-12 used online media heavily, they had fewer good feelings about their friendships

  32. Activity debrief Describe your Challenge and your Solution What Thinking Hat or Hats did you select to evaluate and strengthen your solution? How did you sequence them? What was the outcome/What would you do next?

  33. Wrap-Up & Commitments Place a check-mark by the one you want to share. One important take-away you learned today One way you’ll use the 6 Thinking Hats in the next week One thing about the 6 Thinking Hats you’ll share with others in your Council
