    The Six Thinking Hats method devised by Edward de Bono uses six colored hats to represent six different perspectives or ways of thinking. Each hat has a designated thinking role - the white hat focuses on objective facts, the red hat focuses on emotions, the black hat on cautionary thoughts, the yellow hat on optimism and benefits, the green hat on creative ideas, and the blue hat oversees the thinking process. The method helps groups shift out of conventional thinking patterns and collaborate through considering different viewpoints represented by each colored hat.
