Lateral Thinking

Lateral Thinking
Edward DeBono
  1. sequences of arrival of information matters
  2. it is about creating alternatives, even ridiculous ones to stimulate
  3. withhold judgement to allow the ideas to be substained and sprouted
  4. dominant idea & crucial factor: for the liberation of details
  5. challenging pre-set assumptions (kick them away)
  6. purpose of fractionation/specialisation is to allow development within its scope but at a higher order, restructuring may still be needed
  7. choice of entry matters and should be manipulated: can we work backwards?
  8. attention area: can be altered for a better perspective and for better effective: Reverse the situation? Can we apply it elsewhere? Attention usually settles for the most obvious, all we need is to shift focus
  9. labeling is such a limitation – is there a point?
  10. NO versus PO : NO is an method emphasizing on exclusion while PO is non-judgemental
  11. Blocked by adquecy and complacency
