Six thinking hats

The Black Hat

The situation or a solution is analysed from a critical perspective. The "negative scenario" is examined. The risks, disadvantages, weaknesses. It is a rational hat. Arguments are needed, "because". The negative term here has no moral value, it is on the contrary a force that one must be able to use. The questions to be answered can be :
How is the current situation bad?
What would be the reasons why a particular solution would not work?
What are the weaknesses of the completed project?
What threatens the project?
