Six Thinking Hats Certification
"(Using the Six Hats) The result was that we got through as much information and brainstorming in 5 hours than we would have normally gotten done in a year of meetings with tremendous alignment and input from everyone. I've gotten more kudos over that meeting than anything else I've done at Elanco."
- Jim Bishop, Elanco Animal Health (a division of Eli Lilly)

"As a follow-up to the courses I recently attended, Six Thinking Hats and Lateral Thinking, I wanted to let you know that I am doing some things differently in my job and personal life as a result of these courses. I am confident that, in the long term, improved results will be a natural consequence."

"Because the process is so easy to implement in virtually any situation, I am using Six Thinking Hats daily—in both my professional and my personal life. I like this simple, yet powerful, framework for discussion because it provides such a fluid, yet structured, method for getting the best thinking from all members of the group.
Seminar participants are amazed to find they have been limiting their thinking to the use of only two or three types of thinking—unknowingly. They are pleased to discover how to expand their thinking to get more ideas and better ideas from every discussion. Those organizations that are embracing Total Quality Management are especially receptive to the value of Six Thinking Hats."
- Barbara Stennes, Lifetime Certified Master Trainer and Resources Unlimited President and CEO
