TRAINER ACCREDITATION: Six Thinking Hats®
Introduction
The Six Thinking Hats® technique has been adopted in many leading organisations around the globe and, with a history of proven success, it has become an essential business tool to ensure that thinking and decision making are effective both in output and in time.
The power and immediate adaptability of the Six Thinking Hats® method within teams means that many companies find they have dramatically shorter meetings (up to 75% time saving) with far more constructive outcomes. This method is now rapidly being taken up by organisations as diverse as Du Pont, IBM, NASA, Prudential, The National Audit Office, The Department for Education and Skills, NTT, Statoil, Shell and JP Morgan.
Workshop Overview
Workshop Overview
Edward de Bono's Six Thinking Hats® is a simple yet powerful tool that will change the way your organisation thinks by teaching essential creative problem solving skills vital to corporate survival in a rapidly changing world. The technique enables those trained to:
- Lead shorter, more productive meetings

- Generate more and better ideas
- Improve team results

Workshop Benefits

After this initial Trainer Accreditation, the trainer simply orders workbooks from Indigo on a volume discount basis. In addition to this, the trainer receives constant updates about developments from the international trainer network that de Bono has created.

Each accredited trainer is required to buy Six Thinking Hats® licensed materials and workbooks on completion of their accreditation.
