What clients are saying about de Bono Thinking Systems:

"(Using the Six Hats) The result was that we got through as much information and brainstorming in 5 hours than we would have normally gotten done in a year of meetings with tremendous alignment and input from everyone. I've gotten more kudos over that meeting than anything else I've done at Elanco...Thanks for enabling mine (and Elanco's) success."

--Jim Bishop, Elanco Animal Health (a division of Eli Lilly)

"Wow! 4.8 (with 5 the highest) ranking and a 100% recommendation is unprecidented for a first time speaker and in the area of Innovation and creativity. You (Jay Wenberg) are the highest rated resource speaker for Vistage nationwide."

--Dick Wilson, Vistage, Greensboro, NC

“I feel that de Bono’s lateral thinking techniques are very powerful. The benefits of having a process to work with—purpose, idea, concept, and alternatives—include increased work speed and a more rigorous examination of issues. The notion of concepts has proved very powerful for me and given me a way to ‘ladder up’ my thinking and synthesize ideas.”

--From a Brand Manager for a Fortune 500 Food Manufacturer

“The introduction of de Bono's ‘Six Hats’ parallel thinking technique, modified for application to the selling process, was extremely well-received. In fact, I have already had positive feedback from our staff on their immediate and successful efforts to use this training in selling situations. Their only request was that we expand the meeting to a two-day format next time, to enable greater depth of discussion.

This certainly testifies to the benefit they felt was derived because, as you know, sales people generally steer clear of meetings of any kind! I have been to a variety of sales training seminars in the last 25 years, but find this approach, as customized to suit our products, to be one of the most valuable and practical of any that I have come across. I would recommend its customized use for any of our broadcast sales teams.”

--From the VP of Sales for a Sport Broadcasting Company

"You can do no better than to attend a de Bono seminar."

--Tom Peters

"I am an admirer of Dr. de Bono. We live in an information economy, where we have to live by what comes out of our mind."

--John Scully, Former chairman & CEO, Apple Computer, Inc.

"(The Six Thinking Hats is) excellent training on an invaluable tool that will surely help me in many situations."

--Lena Flax, Sanofi-Aventis
