Try the Six Hat Techniques
The "six hats" technique involves looking at a problem from six differing perspectives.2 By doing this, you can produce more ideas than you might have had you only looked at the situation from one or two points of view.
- Black Hat : Use a negative perspective. Which elements of the solution won’t work?
- Blue Hat : Think broadly. What is the best overall solution?
- Green Hat : Think creatively. What are some alternative ideas?
- Red Hat : Look at the situation emotionally. What do your feelings tell you?
- White Hat : Look at the situation objectively. What are the facts?
- Yellow Hat : Try to be positive
