Six Thinking Hats · IN SHORT

Give each perspective room.Then draw a conclusion.

Separate facts, feelings, risks and possibilities before making a choice. Six Thinking Hats gives each perspective its own space and closes with a reasoned next step rather than a mixed discussion.

Six Thinking HatsSKILL

Your brief

Two colleagues are considering renting a workspace. We know the rent but not the notice period. I am excited and unsure about travel time.

Possible draft

Fictional example: a shared workspace

Rent is a fact; the notice period is missing. Excitement stays separate from benefits such as easier discussion. Alternatives include a day pass, alternating home working or a trial month. Check the terms before committing.
