Lateral thinking by edward de bono
Lateral thinking, introduced by Edward de Bono, emphasizes creative problem-solving and challenges traditional logical thinking by encouraging the exploration of alternative approaches. It focuses on generating new ideas through non-linear thinking methods, such as brainstorming and discussion, rather than following strict analytical processes. This mindset fosters innovation and a flexible approach to developing solutions.
