<p>“Used the Six Thinking Hats® for first proper individual guidance today and it was fantastic.”</p>

<p>“How simple &amp; effective the theory is and the practical application to both work and home.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>J.P. Morgan</strong>, “It has reduced meeting times by up to 75%, and changed our culture across Europe.”</p>
<p><strong>Gallaher</strong>, “We had been discussing ad naseum for two months what we should do in response to the elimination of Duty Free. Using Six Hats we came to a decision in 10 minutes.”</p>
<p> <span id="more-17"></span><br />
<strong>Countrywide Porter Novelli,</strong> “The  de Bono techniques have been used to speed up the sales process – in fact on one occasion the results of a customary 6 week development period were achieved in just 2 hours – and with a better programme for the client”.</p>
<p><strong>Labatts</strong>, “It has enabled people to improve day-to-day operations and contributes to a reduction in stress, turmoil and resistance to change.”</p>
<p><strong>ABB</strong>, “It has proven to be very efficient in improving working in teams in ABB. Especially in international teams where it takes a long time to get to know each other and cope with cultural differences. With Six Hats it is possible to gain results in two days which before took a month.”</p>
<p><strong>Federal Express</strong>, “It honours all thinking preferences … everyone can participate and contribute … ideas can be holistically viewed and fine-tuned.”</p>
<p><strong>Conoco</strong>, “Six Hats is the missing link between understanding different styles of thinking and constructively using them.”</p>
<p><strong>Channel 4 Television</strong>, “Using the de Bono techniques we have generated more ideas in two days than we had done in the previous six months.”</p>
<p><strong>Du Pont</strong>, “The productivity and quality of ideas and actions generated by this technique has been nothing short of phenomenal.”</p>
