It's the third week of the Giro d'Italia, and the riders are getting silly ideas. Like wearing a big blue hat. In public. Maybe the Liquigas peeps are inspired by Edward de Bono and use the Six Thinking Hats system. I quote:
This is the hat under which all participants discuss the thinking process. The facilitator will generally wear it throughout and each member of the team will put it on from time to time to think about directing their work together. This hat should be used at the start and end of each thinking session, to set objectives, to define the route to take to get to them, to evaluate where the group has got to, and where the thinking process is going. Having a facilitator maintain this role throughout helps ensure that the group remains focused on task and improves their chances of achieving their objectives. The blue hat is also an organization of thinking. What have we done so far? What can we do next?
Perhaps not far from the truth, given that we've seen Ivan and the blue hat contemplating together.
Still, the question we're all asking us is WWMCLL? What would Mario Cipollini look like? The answer: Just as silly.
And more examples below.
