However you then inform your self you have been picked to do that for a cause – as a result of you possibly can and can make it occur!

Your first order of enterprise is to get the group collectively to get reacquainted with each other.

Seeing as how we’re proper in the midst of this COVID-19 insanity, you schedule the assembly through a Zoom video name for a primary casual assembly. Practising correct social distancing is a should!

By the top of the primary assembly, you’ve agreed as a gaggle that you’ll meet each 2 weeks, no less than initially till you’re comfy with the place you’re and the place you’re headed.  And to be trustworthy you are feeling it’s a good little distraction from what’s going on on the earth and you will need to nonetheless be social – even whether it is in entrance of a pc display and even in case you are nonetheless sporting your pajama bottoms!

The committee is comprised of an fascinating solid of characters and you’re questioning how the hell you’re going to have the ability to deal with the totally different personalities and concepts.  You conclude the assembly by setting just one agenda for the following assembly, and it is a vital one –  which is to pick a date for the reunion.

You’re on Instagram after the assembly ensuring you ‘t missed out on any pleasure that has gone on whereas the world is in lockdown – the worry of lacking out is actual!  Impulsively you see a photograph of this beautiful girl…

NO! Not the urge to purchase a frozen burrito on Amazon Recent which out of the blue seems in your Instagram feed (it’s how they’re able to show the proper advertisements on the proper time lately!)

6 hats of thinking

That is The way it Works…

When working by means of an issue, the collective group places on every metaphorical hat one after the other to contemplate totally different facets of the issue.  The 6 hats of considering, which we are going to get into in a bit extra depth in a bit, are as follows:

White hat: appears on the information and data out there.

Pink hat: takes an emotional view of the difficulty.

hat: appears on the adverse facets of the difficulty.

Yellow hat: evaluations the optimistic facets of the difficulty.

Inexperienced hat: appears for artistic options or options.

Blue hat: workouts management over the considering course of.

So, at anybody time, everybody on the group is sporting the identical coloration hat and looking out on the subject from the identical perspective.

Why It Works

Having everybody considering in the identical route signifies that the group is engaged in what de Bono calls ‘parallel considering’ versus ‘adversarial considering’.  Whereas adversarial considering relies on a extra argumentative model aimed solely at discovering the reality, parallel considering helps teams attain artistic and well-rounded options by cooperating and collaborating.

To be extra particular, the 6 hats of considering technique leverages parallel considering to get everybody wanting in the identical route at every step of the method, this ensures:

  Everyone seems to be talking the identical language.

  Egos are eliminated – in with de Bono it “separates ego from efficiency”. And it helps block confrontations that may happen when individuals with totally different considering types focus on a difficulty.

  You’re leveraging the range of the group and every individual’s intelligence and expertise.

  That folks suppose otherwise than they often would. For instance, somebody who’s at all times optimistic might want to think about adverse facets of a difficulty. Or somebody who’s at all times rational might want to think about the emotional viewpoint.

  Focus – you aren’t leaping all over as you’re shifting by means of the hats systematically taking a look at every perspective collectively.

  Selections have a wholesome mixture of , emotion, ambition and sensitivity because of the truth you’ve checked out all facets of a difficulty – the details, the great factors, the unhealthy factors, the optimistic and adverse facets, and inventive options.

  The crimson and inexperienced hats will let you say inappropriate issues which could be corrected by the black hat.

Now that you’ve got been refreshed on what 6 hats of considering technique is and why it really works, let’s take a look at…

How You Put the 6 Hats of Pondering into Follow to Manage Your Reunion

The important thing to using the 6 hats of considering is to have a very good facilitator to maintain issues shifting and to maintain everybody targeted – on this case, you’re enjoying that function!

Once more, on the first Zoom assembly, you determined that the very very first thing you could collectively do is to pick a date for the reunion (hoping this COVID factor is over by then!) That manner you possibly can create a timeline, safe a venue, ship out invitations and so on. As a part of your second assembly, you’ve determined to make the most of the 6 hats of considering approach. After explaining the method of the 6 hats of considering and the way it will work to the committee, you begin with everybody sporting the

White Hat…

and appears at an inventory of potential dates urged by the alumni . There are 10 potential dates, 5 within the Fall and 5 within the Spring. You agree that you’ll want to pick a date ASAP, so individuals can get it on their calendars early. Nevertheless, you haven’t any thought about which date individuals choose, so you will have to determine learn how to get that data.

Subsequent, you progress on to the

Inexperienced Hat…

to have a look at some concepts on how to determine everybody’s most popular date (and I don’t imply the individual they’ll carry!). Somebody on the committee suggests making a Fb Group, one other suggests utilizing Survey Monkey, and one other suggests utilizing a Doodle ballot. All good concepts!

You then transfer to the

Yellow Hat…

to have a look at the advantages of the concepts. Making a Fb Group would will let you add photographs and to handle the entire occasion from now till the occasion takes place. Utilizing Survey Monkey could be fairly straightforward to arrange and make the most of. And utilizing Doodle would allow you to specify the precise dates and instances and to get prompt outcomes.

Subsequent, you all placed on the

Black Hat…

and take a look at why every might not work. Whereas the Fb Group is a good suggestion, not everyone seems to be on Fb. When it comes to Survey Monkey, somebody factors out that solely the e-mail despatched by Survey Monkey can observe who responds, so if the e-mail is forwarded you received’t be capable of observe the respondent. As for utilizing a Doodle ballot, the one actual disadvantage is that there are advertisements it’s important to take a look at as a result of it’s . As for the ten dates themselves, somebody factors out that that is too many and it might be good to slender it down to five.

You then placed on the

Pink Hat…

to debate intestine emotions, feelings and fears. One of many girls appears to actually dislike the Fb thought, she says a number of individuals ‘might’ have connected since commencement and are attempting to keep away from one another. Since she is a little bit of a floozy you suppose she could also be talking from private expertise!  Simply as you’re about to say one thing you do not forget that the Pink Hat is all about letting feelings out with out judging, so that you cease your self earlier than saying something important.  Plus you very nicely everybody has skeletons of their closet!

Lastly, you placed on the

Blue Hat…

to attract conclusions and formulate subsequent steps.  You resolve to go along with the Doodle ballot as it’s the most simple and it’s free, which aligns properly along with your restricted finances. Folks can put up with the annoying advertisements as they aren’t a showstopper.

The assembly concludes and utilizing the 6 hats of considering finally ends up being a convincing success that helps you give you an ideal answer. You agree to fulfill in 2 weeks to evaluation the outcomes from the ballot and to debate utilizing 6 hats of considering to assist discover a venue.

As you’re about to sign off, some wise-ass Zoom-bombs your name with the random picture under:

6 hats of thinking

As an alternative of being pissed off and telling them the place to go, it out of the blue hits you!

You forgot to let loose your Shih-Tzu pet earlier than the decision. Often, your partner does it, however they’re on a Zoom name that began earlier than yours and the canine hasn’t been out in a number of hours!

The final time this occurred you went downstairs to a veritable Shih-Tzu-storm!
