Book Reviews of Six Thinking Hats
Book Review: Simple and Effective
Summary: 4 Stars
I am only half-way through the book, but have also sat through a review of the technique by someone who has been using the "Six Thinking Hats" method for some time. It is simple, effective, and in the process of reaching a concensus I can't think of a better way to focus the energy of any group toward achieving a mutual agreement. I can see this process being helpful for any small group process, especially when "goal setting" is needed.Book Review: Makes you Want to Take a Test Drvie
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm finding Dr. De Bono's book very easy to read. Sometimes simple concepts can be profound, and I think this is an example. I am inspired to take his recommnedations on a test drive.
Watch out for Dr. De Bono's explanation of creativity. That's the only part so far that leaves me feeling like I missed something.

Book Review: Puts a short leash on the naysayers so they don't automatically dominate meetings!
Summary: 5 Stars
In the early 90's we worked with Dr. de Bono and learned about his creative thinking techniques. This book is one I always recommend to companies. It helps people to generate new ideas, brings obstacles into the open, and helps align the group's vision. It puts a short leash on the naysayers so they don't automatically dominate meetings! Allows a full range of viewpoints to be heard. A must read.Book Review: A new approach to the thinking process
Summary: 4 Stars
This book made me think differently about the way people interact with each other.
It presented me parallel thinking, a more productive way of interacting, away from modern western thinking based on argument and ego.
Parallel thinking is the equivalent of Web2.0, a new and productive way of collaborating in the XXI century.
Book Review: Still looking for a yellow hat.. lol
Summary: 4 Stars
This book shows the proper approach to any meeting... Keeping a meeting flowing with less distraction saves money and time.. it also allows for more control, better communication and thought process. When brain storming staying focused and keeping that focus with a large group can get difficult... this book will help by use of the hat process...
