Edward de Bono's Six Thinking Hats is a parallel thinking framework designed to enhance decision-making by directing group focus toward six distinct, sequential perspectives rather than conflicting viewpoints. The method utilizes distinct "hats"—White (data), Red (emotions), Black (risks), Yellow (benefits), Green (creativity), and Blue (process)—to analyze problems systematically.
