6 Thinking Hats - Bono de, Edward The Six Thinking Hats technique (6TH) of Edward de Bono is a model that can be used for exploring different perspectives towards a complex situation or challenge. Seeing things in various ways is often a good idea in strategy formation or complex decision-making processes. The 6TH technique is designed to help individuals deliberately adopt a variety of perspectives on a subject that may be very different from the one that they might most naturally assume. In wearing a particular thinking hat, people play roles, or "as if" themselves into a particular perspective. Each of the Hats is named for a color that is mnemonically descriptive of the perspective one adopts when wearing the particular hat. The 6 hats and the perspectives they represent are: De Bono’s hats are indicative of both emotional states as well as frames of mind (i.e., perspective from which an issue is viewed). Main benefits of the 6TH method: Using the Six Hats More management models
Divergerende fase van het creatieve proces In deze fase van het creatieve proces gaat het om het creëren van zoveel mogelijk ideeën. Kwantiteit gaat even vóór kwaliteit. In de convergerende fase gaan we selecteren. In het algemeen een paar tips: Wees niet te kritisch op je zelf. Als je probleem belangrijk genoeg is, hoef je er niet bewust de hele tijd mee bezig te zijn. In deze cursus gaan we ervan uit dat je er alleen voor staat. Vooronderstellingen uitschakelen Vooronderstellingen zitten nieuwe ideeën vaak danig in de weg. Wat gebeurt er als je die vooronderstellingen nu eens loslaat ? Werken met analogieën Kies een sleutelwoord uit je startformulering. Een voorbeeld. Je kunt ook zoeken naar de overeenkomsten tussen je sleutelbegrip en het analogon. Woord linken Neem een groot vel papier (en als je dat niet hebt: plak vier A4'tjes aan elkaar) en zet je sleutelwoord in het midden. Beelden Tot nu toe associeerden we heel verbaal. Metaforen Kies nu een metafoor. Er zijn heel veel productieve metaforen. Tja. De morfologische matrix
Evaporating Cloud Overview[edit] The most commonly used of the TOC tools,[note 1] the EC was designed to address conflict or dilemma situations (trade-off situations where there is no acceptable compromise) by diagramming the logic behind the conflict and methodically examining the assumptions behind the logic. [3] The EC has a set format with five boxes, labelled A, B, C, D, D’, that are usually laid out as follows:[4] The generic structure of an Evaporating Cloud diagram. [B] ← [D ] [A] / ↑ / \ [A] conflict OR [B] [C] \ ↓ ↑ ↑ [C] ← [D’] [D] ↔ [D’] The boxes represent two opposing wants that represent the conflict (D, D’)[note 2], the needs that each want is trying to satisfy (B, C), and a common objective or goal (A) that both needs are trying to fulfil. The lines or arrows connecting the nodes represent the rationale or causal assumptions that are used to link the nodes.

The scientific method is a process for experimentation that is used to explore observations and answer questions. Even though we show the scientific method as a series of steps, keep in mind that new information or thinking might cause a scientist to back up and repeat steps at any point during the process. Whether you are doing a science fair project, a classroom science activity, independent research, or any other hands-on science inquiry understanding the steps of the scientific method will help you focus your scientific question and work through your observations and data to answer the question as well as possible.

Startfase van het creatieve proces In de startfase onderzoek je of je onderwerp geschikt is voor een creatieve aanpak. Sommige onderwerpen lenen zich er nu eenmaal beter voor dan andere. Wanneer is een creatieve aanpak minder geschikt? Een paar voorbeelden. als er al heel veel ideeën zijn maar beleidsmakers missen de bestuurlijke moed om het aan te pakken als het probleem gewoon niet belangrijk genoeg is als de oplossing van het probleem voor het grijpen ligt maar er is geen geld. Igor Byttebier aan wie we in deze cursus veel ontlenen, geeft als voorbeeld het fileprobleem. Om half negen is het druk bij de koffieautomaat. In dit soort situaties is het niet zo zinvol om met leuke, creatieve ideeën aan te komen. Analyse Een korte checklist: Is je onderwerp helder? Startformulering Je creativiteit is een fantastisch stukje software. Omdat de startformulering erg belangrijk is voor het creatieve proces staan we er evenwat langer bij stil. Hoe kunnen we ervoor zorgen dat het nieuwe sportcentrum na twee jaar kostendekkend draait?
Bloom's Taxonomy Bloom's wheel, according to the Bloom's verbs and matching assessment types. The verbs are intended to be feasible and measurable. Bloom's taxonomy is a classification of learning objectives within education. Bloom's taxonomy refers to a classification of the different objectives that educators set for students (learning objectives). Bloom's taxonomy is considered to be a foundational and essential element within the education community. History[edit] Although named after Bloom, the publication of Taxonomy of Educational Objectives followed a series of conferences from 1949 to 1953, which were designed to improve communication between educators on the design of curricula and examinations. The first volume of the taxonomy, "Handbook I: Cognitive" (Bloom et al. 1956) was published in 1956. Cognitive[edit] Skills in the cognitive domain revolve around knowledge, comprehension, and critical thinking on a particular topic.

Lateral thinking Lateral thinking is solving problems through an indirect and creative approach, using reasoning that is not immediately obvious and involving ideas that may not be obtainable by using only traditional step-by-step logic. The term was coined in 1967 by Edward de Bono. [1] According to de Bono, lateral thinking deliberately distances itself from standard perceptions of creativity as either "vertical" logic (the classic method for problem solving: working out the solution step-by-step from the given data) or "horizontal" imagination (having many ideas but being unconcerned with the detailed implementation of them). Methods[edit] Critical thinking is primarily concerned with judging the true value of statements and seeking errors. Random Entry Idea Generating Tool: The thinker chooses an object at random, or a noun from a dictionary, and associates it with the area they are thinking about. Challenge Idea Generating Tool: A tool which is designed to ask the question "Why?" See also[edit]
NLP World Collaborative method Group Setup[edit] Deliberate setup of a team—before beginning work—increases the potential for high performance.[citation needed] To do so, the following components of collaboration should be an initial focus: Group models[edit] Four group models are common in collaboration:[1] Chance Collaboration by chance is the most basic model and underlies all four. Acuity Collaboration by acuity establishes a team with balanced skill sets. Interest Collaboration by interest forms a team of persons with similar hobbies, curiosities or careers. Leader Collaboration by leader is a team model where the members are chosen by a leader. Spence's basic rules[edit] Spence identifies[1] seven rules for all collaboration: Look for common ground: find shared values, consider shared personal experiences, pay attention to and give feedback, be yourself and expect the same of others, be willing to accept differences in perception and opinions Katzenbach and Smith's "team basics"[edit] Complementary skills in team members
