Are you ready to transform the way you approach problems, make decisions, and collaborate with others?

Meetings get derailed, decisions feel muddled, and creativity seems blocked. Often, the challenge isn't the problem itself, but how we think about it.

Join us for this introductory session to Ean Carter's Seven Thinking Caps, a powerful framework designed to bring structure, clarity, and focus to your thinking processes, both individually and in groups.

What are the Seven Thinking Caps?

Developed by Ean Carter, this methodology provides a practical toolkit for deliberate thinking. Each "Cap" represents a distinct mode or direction of thought, allowing you to systematically explore different facets of a situation. By consciously "putting on" and "taking off" these caps, you can guide discussions, foster parallel thinking (where everyone focuses on the same aspect simultaneously), and achieve more productive outcomes.

In this Introduction, You Will:

Discover the Core Principles: Understand the foundational concepts behind Ean Carter's Seven Thinking Caps methodology.
Learn the Purpose of Each Cap: Get an overview of the unique focus area each of the seven caps represents (e.g., data, emotion, creativity, planning.)
See the Framework in Action: Explore practical examples of how applying the Seven Thinking Caps can improve meetings, brainstorming, and decision-making.
Identify Immediate Applications: Recognise how you can start using structured thinking techniques in your daily work and life.
Understand the Benefits: Appreciate how this framework can lead to reduced conflict, increased efficiency, enhanced creativity, and clearer communication.
