Lateral thinking is a simple and fun lifestyle choice that reengages our imaginations to allow innovation and creativity to thrive.

Lessons in lateral thinking:

• What exactly is ‘Lateral Thinking?’ – Understanding ‘creativity’, ‘creative thinking’, and the purpose of disruptive creativity.
• Random Starting Points (or random entry points) – A strategy of introducing something random as a starting point to elicit new and original thinking.
• Alternative Perspectives – A strategy of disruption that involves canvassing the perspectives of others, or, imagining (or role-playing) perspectives other than your own.
• Provocative Operation (‘po’)- A disruption strategy to inspire new and original combinations (usually) from others—an unexpected ‘out-of-the-blue’ action and/or statement that encourages creative responses/alternatives.
• Question Existing Patterns – A disruption strategy of identifying, and then questioning, the patterns that populate our world—to question something even when the answer seems known or obvious.
• Challenge Dominant Thinking – How to challenge a prevailing pattern recognized as being established, successful, or a logical way forward.
• Backwards Planning – A planning tool that starts with your final objective, and then works backwards to see how you got there—a powerful tool for disrupting preexisting mindsets, patterns, and expectations.
• ‘Exceptional’ Goal Setting – Setting exceptional goals is about chasing your dreams—dreams fueled by your imagination.
• Public Speaking – An example of lateral thinking working within a successful existing pattern that ‘disrupts’ your preconceived mindset that talking to a large audience is something best left to the professionals. ‘Creative Combinations’ amplifies the power of this simple disruption.
• Creative combinations – The combining of ‘things’ in creative ways, often achieved by the combining of things that you wouldn’t ‘normally’ consider combining.
• Problem Solving – A problem-solving pattern that disrupts your focus from ‘quick fix’ and short-term solutions to determining the underlying causes of a problem and long-term solutions. The disruption invites ‘creative combinations’ for permanent and/or superior outcomes.
• Time Management – The successful existing pattern disrupts your focus from ‘urgent’ to ‘important’. The disruption invites ‘Creative Combinations’ for real changes to the way you manage time.
• Memory Pegs – A powerful tool of the imagination that disrupts your ‘normal’ methods of recall by creating a type of ‘filing’ system for fast, simple and accurate reproductions.
• Six Thinking Hats – Coming soon.
