Here we were first introduced to Mr Edward De Bono's thinking technique called the six thinking hats. (A touch on that below). We were then put into groups to come up with some brainstorming, in the hope to come up with an idea for a university event with a budget of £1000. The group I was in decided to merge the creative parts of the universities, e.g were the sound and engineering department would help with the set up for a fashion show for the fashion and design department. So in essence two groups that would be able to compliment each other. The cost would be not outgoing then as the students in essence would be the ones volunteering and then the money could be used on a band or celebrity for advertisement purposes. The idea of also established companies and successful ex students came to mind as well, so that this would be an incentive for all current students to look at, as well as it giving a lot of networking opportunities and platform to show off talent.
Good old Mr De Bono here looking very philosophical whilst resting his chin.
Being introduced for the first time to this dexterous man was very intriguing I've got to admit. Here we looked at and discussed De Bono's six thinking hats tool. It does exactly as it says on the tin really, were by six different thinking methods are put into practise on a problem or idea, with each colour representing a different opinion and thought.
This is something that would be useful if you were perhaps on your own and you wanted to develop an idea, or look at all the factors good and bad that could come from it. I think naturally we all have a different hat on as individuals so it was a good exercise to see one another look at something from a different angle.
