The Thinking Company

🧠✨ The Six Thinking Hats methodology has a transformative impact on organisations and teams. It is “an excellent tool for structuring discussions to reach decisions” as quoted by John Hooper, DRA Global. By giving groups a structured approach to problem-solving, it encourages them to view challenges from multiple perspectives—fostering creativity, collaboration, and clarity in decision-making. With each "hat," teams dive into different ways of thinking: fact-based analysis, emotional insight, critical assessment, optimism, and creativity, all tied together by organised reflection. This process allows organisations to break free from conventional thought patterns, tackle complex issues with innovative solutions, and build a culture of open-mindedness and adaptability. Ready to empower your team in 2025? Reach out to The Thinking Company to book your Six Thinking Hats workshop and see the impact for yourself. Together, let’s rethink the way we solve problems!

🚗✨ We’re thrilled to share highlights from our recent collaboration with Volkswagen Group Africa, who is leading the way in curating a workplace that champions wellbeing and resilience. Over the past week, we ran impactful masterclasses for their teams, and the commitment to building a supportive, courageous culture was evident at every level. The sessions focused on two powerful themes: 🌟 Being Bold: Courage, Choices, and the Journey Ahead 🌟 The Culture of Wellbeing: Trauma-Informed Strategies for Resilience A big thank you to our presenters Nicola Tyler, Yvonne Johnston, Jennifer Reimer, Ph.D. and Keitu Gwangwa, for their time, dedication, and thought-provoking insights, as well as to Robyn Tufts and Volkswagen Group Africa for their trust and belief in investing in a culture of wellness. The feedback has been incredible, and it’s a reminder of how essential it is for women (and men) to set out boldly, step beyond fear, and face challenges with courage. Building resilience in the face of trauma is a journey, and by supporting each other, we can create workplaces where everyone can grow and thrive. Here’s to more courageous conversations and a culture of wellbeing. 🚀🌈 #VolkswagenSA #WellbeingAtWork #BeingBold #Resilience #TraumaInformed #CourageousLeadership

✨ Reflecting on the incredible experience of facilitating Six Thinking Hats workshops with Volkswagen Group Africa in 2024. The collaboration with their talented teams was truly inspiring. “Teaching Six Thinking Hats to the delegates from Volkswagen SA was amazing.

It is always incredible to see how quickly these tools can level up thinking and creativity in a team!” - Verity Price, WCPS Each session showcased the transformative power of the Six Thinking Hats methodology, fostering adaptable, forward-thinking leaders and unlocking new levels of creativity.

As we wrap up another week, let’s take a moment to reflect on the richness of our heritage and the importance of sharing our stories. Every tradition, every lesson learned, and every experience shapes who we are today. These narratives are the threads that weave our past into the fabric of our future. What stories will you pass on to the next generation? How will you ensure that your unique heritage continues to thrive? Let's celebrate our diverse backgrounds and make a conscious effort to share our journeys, inspiring those who come after us to embrace their own stories. #Heritage #Storytelling #Thinkingforthefuture #TTC

At The Thinking Company we celebrate the beauty of our differences and the strength of our shared values. Every culture, tradition, and language is a thread in the fabric of who we are as a team, and it’s this diversity that empowers us to think bigger, innovate more creatively, and drive meaningful change. Together, we build a future that honors where we come from and inspires where we’re headed. #Heritage #Diversity #Innovation #Teamwork

When we come together to celebrate our roots, our stories, and the diverse cultures that shape who we are, we are reminded that the power of unity lies in embracing our differences. As Rassie Erasmus expressed so perfectly - "We’ve got people from different races and different cultures, but when we all play together, we become stronger." At The Thinking Company, we believe that when diverse minds come together, we achieve greatness. Our strength lies in our shared vision, built on the foundations of respect, inclusion, and collaboration. Let’s continue to champion and honour our heritage, and work toward a future that celebrates each and every voice. #heritage #diversity #collaboration

As we celebrate this day, we reflect on the value of inclusion and the incredible richness that different backgrounds bring to our work, ideas, and vision for the future. #heritageday #diversity #innovation

This week we honor the rich tapestry of cultures, languages, and traditions that shape who we are, both individually and collectively. Heritage Day reminds us of the power of diversity and how each of our unique stories adds to the strength of our community. Happy Heritage Week!
