Blending their backgrounds in business and psychology into a fresh perspective, the authors sweep aside conventional thinking about creativity to show how managers can actively shape group processes to enhance creative output.
They offer proven strategies based on a deep understanding of human behaviour for stimulating and directing the group dynamics that lie at the heart of innovative thinking.
This book clearly outlines and analyses each step in the creative process and gives practical suggestions for managing creative teams, including specific techniques for composing groups to maximise creative abrasion, re-channeling the tensions of conflicting points of view into new ideas and alternative options, and failing forward to success.

There is nothing more sad and wasteful than a room full of intelligent and highly paid people waiting for a chance to attack something the speaker has said.
With the Six Hats method the fullest use is made of everyone's intelligence, experience and information.
The Six Hats removes all 'ego' from the discussion process. The need for the Six Hats is based on the understanding of how the brain chemicals change with the mode of thinking. Argument is inefficient, ineffective, and extremely slow. Argument was never designed to be constructive.
The parallel thinking of the Six Hats method is rapidly replacing argument.
Corporations and people around the world are increasing their efficiency, saving time, money, and a great deal of frustration, by using the Six Thinking Hats® method.
