MESSAGE FOR WEEK BEGINNING 8th February 2010

SIX HATS for television programme

I am continually hearing from people in different countries about the widespread use of THE SIX THINKING HATS. The use ranges from top level economic meetings to the use by juries in law courts (pioneered by Grant Todd). If you have further stories, either personal or second hand, let me have them. One day it may be possible to put all these stories together as a book. The method is so simple to use and so very powerful. It unlocks the minds of those taking part in a discussion and frees them from the argument idiom which we have been too content with for 2,400 years. As many of you will know there is a psychological basis for the method in the way the brain works. Mood chemicals sensitise different neuronal circuits and being only in one mood limits our thinking. The Six Hats would make an ideal television programme of much more interest than tedious argument.
