Idea Generation: Six Thinking Hats

Facilitate balanced ideation guided by structured perspectives—data-driven facts, emotional insight, creative alternatives, risk spotting, and process control—all with AI-generated prompts.

Think from Every Angle. Innovate with Balance.

GooValid’s Six Thinking Hats Toolkit empowers teams and founders to explore a challenge or solution from six structured perspectives: facts (White), emotions (Red), risks (Black), benefits (Yellow), creativity (Green), and process control (Blue). Instead of falling into groupthink or biased decision-making, this AI-supported tool helps you ideate holistically—ensuring all viewpoints are captured before making a strategic decision.

What makes GooValid truly unique and valuable is how this ideation process doesn’t start from scratch. It draws intelligently from your Fishbone Diagram and 5WH Analysis to offer context-aware hat prompts, rooted in the real causes and deeper questions you’ve already uncovered. For example, AI uses the "Why" and "How" dimensions from your 5WH breakdown to shape White and Black Hat discussions; while emotional patterns or recurring pain points from the Fishbone’s “People” or “Environment” branches inform Red and Yellow Hat inputs. This means you generate ideas not in isolation—but from a solid foundation of validated insights, resulting in more robust, focused, and actionable innovation.
