Lateral thinking
Techniques that apply lateral thinking to problems are characterized by the shifting of thinking patterns away from entrenched or predictable thinking to new or unexpected ideas. A new idea that is the result of lateral thinking is not always a helpful one, but when a good idea is discovered in this way it is usually obvious in hindsight, which is a feature lateral thinking shares with a joke. Lateral thinking and problem solving Edward de Bono points out that the term problem solving implies that there is a problem to respond to and that it can be resolved. That eliminates situations where there is no problem or a problem exists that cannot be resolved. It is logical to think about making a good situation, that has no problems, into a better situation. Some times a problem cannot be solved by removing its cause. We may need to solve problems not by removing the cause but by designing the way forward even if the cause remains in place (Edward de Bono). Lateral thinking can be used to help in solving problems but can also be used for much more. Here is a wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_thinking
