    “Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right.”
    ― Henry Ford

    White – Hat – Information

    White Hat: with this thinking hat, you focus on the available data. Look at the
    information that you have, analyze past trends, and see what you can learn from it.
    Look for gaps in your knowledge and try to either fill them or take account of them.

    The white hat is all about information. What information you have, what information you
    need and where to get it.

    Neutral, objective information, fact and figures

    Questions: what do we know, what don’t we know, what do we need to know

    Excludes opinions, hunches, judgements

    Removes feelings and impressions

    Red Hat - Emotion

    Red Hat: "wearing" the Red Hat, you look at problems using your intuition, gut reaction,
    and emotion. Also, think how others could react emotionally. Try to understand the
    responses of people who do not fully know your reasoning.

    Emotions and feelings

    Hunches, intuitions, impressions

    Doesn’t have to be logical or consistent

    No justifications, reasons or basis

    All decisions are emotional in the end


    This covers intuition, feelings, and emotions. It focuses on what people feel about the
    issue under discussion. Importantly, there’s no need to rationalize or explain.

    Black Hat - Caution

    Black Hat: using Black Hat thinking, look at a decision's potentially negative outcomes.
    Look at it cautiously and defensively. Try to see why it might not work. This is important
    because it highlights the weak points in a plan. It allows you to eliminate them, alter
    them, or prepare contingency plans to counter them.

    Black Hat thinking helps to make your plans "tougher" and more resilient. It can also help
    you to spot fatal flaws and risks before you embark on a course of action. It's one of the
    real benefits of this model, as many successful people get so used to thinking positively
    that they often cannot see problems in advance. This leaves them under-prepared for
    difficulties.

    This is the hat of judgment and caution. It is the most valuable hat. The focus here is on
    problems, risks, and challenges that this idea might pose.

    Cautious and careful

    Logical negative – why it won’t work

    Critical judgment, pessimistic view

    Separates logical negative from emotion

    Focus on errors, evidence, conclusions

    Logical & truth, but not necessarily fair

    Most important yet most overused

    Kawikaan 22:3

    Kung may dumarating na panganib, ang matalino'y nag-iingat, ngunit di ito pansin ng
    mangmang kaya siya'y napapahamak.

    Yellow Hat – Benefits and Advantages

    Yellow Hat: this hat helps you to think positively. It is the optimistic viewpoint that helps
    you to see all the benefits of the decision and the value in it. Yellow Hat thinking helps
    you to keep going when everything looks gloomy and difficult.
    This is the logical positive— why something will work and why it will offer benefits. It can
    be used in looking forward to the results of some proposed action, but can also be used
    to find something of value in what has already happened.

    Positive and speculative

    Positive thinking, optimism, opportunity

    Benefits

    Best-case scenarios

    Exploration

    Jeremias 17:7

    Mapalad ang mga taong nagtitiwala kay Yahweh,

    pagpapalain ang umaasa sa kanya.

    Green Hat - Creativity and Solution

    Green Hat: the Green Hat represents creativity. This is where you develop creative
    solutions to a problem. It is a freewheeling way of thinking, in which there is little criticism
    of ideas.

    This is the hat of creativity, alternatives, proposals, what is interesting, provocations and
    changes. This hat is often used in a brainstorm to generate ideas.

    New ideas, concepts, perceptions

    Deliberate creation of new ideas

    Alternatives and more alternatives

    New approaches to problems

    Creative and lateral thinking

    Blue Hat - Managing Thinking

    Blue Hat: this hat represents process control. It's the hat worn by people chairing
    meetings, for example. When facing difficulties because ideas are running dry, they
    may direct activity into Green Hat thinking. When contingency plans are needed, they
    will ask for Black Hat thinking.

    This is the overview or process control hat. Could you summaries the findings so far?
    What needs to happen next?
    Control of thinking & the process

    Instructions for thinking

    The organization of thinking

    Control of the other hats

    Begin & end SESSION with blue hat

    Discipline and focus

    Facilitator, session leader’s role
