Thinking Hats
Ask people to imagine they are someone else for a fresh pair of eyes to
the problem. They could imagine that they were a child, what might they
say, what questions might a child ask? They could put themselves in the
shoes of a mentor, a parent or someone they admire, how may they look
at this situation? The idea here is that ‘You cannot solve a problem with the
thinking that created it.’ (Einstein). Looking at a different viewpoint should
provide you with new information.
