The Thinking Style & typical Comments Green hat thinkers tend to be creative, imaginative and look for alternatives, but may not think through the consequences. “Of course we could always buy a new system.” Blue hat thinkers tend to see things from a broader perspective. They have the ability to stand back and look at the bigger picture. “When the new system is in place it will speed up the process throughout the whole business.” Yellow hat thinkers tend to be positive, constructive and look for ways of making something work. “I’m sure we can make the old system work if we all put our minds to it.” Black hat thinkers tend to play ‘devil’s advocate’ and point out what might go wrong. “The new system is only half the solution, what about late deliveries from our supplier, it won’t resolve that problem?” White hat thinkers tend to focus on facts, figures and logic. “How much is the new system going to cost and how many customers can it cope with?” Red hat thinkers tend to use hunches, ‘gut feel’, intuition and previous experience. “I have a good feeling about it, I’m sure it will work because I’ve seen it work for other businesses.”
