Tell me more about The White Hat

The White Hat, in the context of Edward de Bono's Six Thinking Hats, represents pure facts, information, and data. When wearing the White Hat, one focuses on objective analysis, seeking to uncover and consider only the facts of a situation without letting emotions or biases influence the process. This hat is often used at the beginning of discussions to establish a clear understanding of the situation at hand. It's also used throughout the process to keep the discussion grounded in reality and to prevent it from veering off into speculation or assumption. It's crucial for research, data analysis, and for making informed decisions.
