What is Lateral Thinking?

Standard logic is vertical: A leads to B leads to C. Lateral Thinking, a term coined by Edward de Bono, involves solving problems through an indirect and creative approach. It's about seeing the solution that isn't immediately obvious.

Example

  • Vertical Thinking: Digging the same hole deeper.
  • Lateral Thinking: Digging a hole somewhere else.
