Thinking Hats

## Things to Remember
The Thinking Hats exercise allows you to make sure that different perspectives are being discussed and pushes people to be open to different perspectives since everyone will have to represent multiple, differing views..

The team discussion focuses on one hat at a time. The order can vary, but you'll want to start and end with the blue hat (process). This order works well when comparing ideas:

• Blue hat - process (align on goals and order of hats)
• White hat - data
• Green hat - creativity
• Yellow hat - benefits
• Black hat - judgment
• Red hat - intuition
• Blue hat - process (summary of discussion)
