Techniques

Six Thinking Hats

Examine ideas through six distinct thinking modes. Everyone wears the same hat at once.

Read cookbook/six-hats.md

Stakeholder Roundtable

Role-play as different stakeholders to surface hidden concerns and conflicts.

Read cookbook/stakeholder-roundtable.md

Persona Analysis

Test ideas against specific user personas to ensure solutions fit real people.

Read cookbook/persona-analysis.md

Core Principles

Commit to the role - Think AS the perspective, not ABOUT it
Suspend your own view - Your opinion comes later
Surface conflicts - Disagreement between perspectives is valuable data
Document insights - Capture what each perspective reveals
Synthesize at the end - Bring perspectives together after exploring each

When Role-Playing Works Best

Decisions affecting multiple groups
Ideas that feel "obviously right" (need challenge)
Complex problems with no clear answer
Building empathy for users or stakeholders
Breaking out of habitual thinking patterns

Warning Signs You Need This

"We already know what users want"
"Everyone agrees this is the right approach"
"We didn't consider that perspective"
Surprised by stakeholder reactions after launch
