The slide might include a flowchart: “Start with White Hat for 10 minutes → Red Hat for 5 minutes → Black Hat for 15 minutes → Yellow Hat for 10 minutes → Green Hat for 15 minutes → Red Hat again for 5 minutes.” It also includes meta-questions like “What is our objective?” and “Which hat should we use next?” This scenario cements the blue hat as the conductor of the thinking orchestra. six thinking hats example scenarios ppt
The black hat scenario highlights potential pitfalls. For the four-day workweek, black hat points include: “Client support response times could increase by 24 hours,” “Monday will become overloaded, leading to burnout,” and “Overtime costs may rise if work spills into the fifth day.” The PPT should use caution symbols (e.g., warning triangles, red borders) and a skeptical tone. This scenario demonstrates that black hat thinking is not negative for its own sake, but essential for risk management. Slide focus: New ideas, modifications, lateral moves
