Replace
one-dimensional thinking with
SIX-DIMENSIONAL THINKING

The Management Tool for Building the Innovative Organization

Much of our thinking is done in a confused way. We often try to do too much at once. Emotions, information, logic, hope
and creativity are all mixed in. It's like juggling too many balls. As a result we begin to limit our thinking.
We start to use only one type of thinking for every situation, usually critical or negative thinking. Similarly, critical thinking
is a powerful tool but if you are trying to create a new idea, it can just get in the way.
The Six Thinking Hats system provides a practical framework to over come these challenges. It's a simple, easy to use
method that can dramatically change the way you think. And the way your organization operates.
Dr. Edward de Bono's Training Course is fastpaced, practical and interactive. The measurable results include shorter
meetings, thorough decisions, better communication and easier problem resolution. Individuals and teams will learn
to separate thinking into six categories for analyzing issues and generating new ideas.

Workshop Objectives:

Replace one dimensional thinking with six dimensional thinking

(from emotion to facts, positive to negative, critical to creative)
Make your thinking more deliberate and generate more ideas
Identify alternatives, stimulate innovation and solve problems
faster
Improve Team Work and lead better meetings

Who Should Attend:

Anyone who wants to think clearly, objectively, and creatively

will benefit from Six Thinking Hats training.
