Simply a different way of thinking – lateral thinking
by Matja Jeran, New Moment
based on Dr Edward de Bono’s lecture in Ideas Campus 2003
Dr. Edward de Bono is listed as one of the 250 people who have made the most significant contribution to humanity. His special contribution has been to take the mystical subject of creativity and, for the first time in history, put the subject on a solid basis. While his methods are based on a fundamental understanding of how the brain handles information, de Bono's "powerfully simple" thinking techniques can help you make good decisions, solve problems, challenge assumptions and produce practical improvement in your occupation and in life.
