Lateral Thinking

I started off blogging by talking about Edward de Bono's Lateral Thinking -

REARRANGEMENT is the BASIS of LATERAL thinking and the mind is NOT trapped by its usual YES or NO to ideas.

Instead of saying "Yes" or "No", Bono invites us to say "Po"! The term PO is derived from Provocative operation. The concept allows us to continue thinking forward to a new place in an unencumbered fashion where new ideas may be continually produced.
Pretty apt!

It is not enough for organizations attempt to anticipate the next “Disruptive Innovation” in the market (and grope in the dark, waiting to get hit). Organizations should themselves take initiative to unleash the next series of “Disruptive Technologies” into the market.
