Most errors in business decisions come from errors in thinking. The Six Hats Process ensures that thinking outcomes are sound and teaches teamwork at the most fundamental stage of work – the thinking process. By engaging everyone to use the same mode of thinking at the same time, the team practises parallel thinking. This speeds up the discussion process and saves precious time while increasing thinking output substantially. Individuals are able to transcend their personal biases in the process hence ensuring more well-thought out solutions which incorporate not only critical thinking but take into account intuitive insights and the all enriching component of serious creativity. The Six Hats is

• A language of thinking
• An excellent team thinking tool
• A good introduction to creative thinking methods
• A proven assessment tool
• A time saver for meetings

The way we perceive the world determines the decisions we make and what we do. Perception is probably the most important part of our thinking. Most mistakes in thinking are mistakes in perception.

Values are central to all our decisions, choices, actions and strategies. Everything we do is directed towards obtaining some value or delivering some value. But though they are important, values remain vague for many people. We make decisions focusing on the more obvious values while ignoring the others, and have no clear means of gauging the impact of our decisions. What the Six Value Medals Framework™ will give us is a means to focus on values in different directions, assess their strengths or size and pinpoint sources of conflicts in a situation. Being able to highlight and pinpoint the benefits and values to be enjoyed from any proposal or suggestion helps one to make a case in clear demonstrable terms. Who really benefits and what exactly the benefits are come under microscopic scrutiny.
