  lateral thinking for management de bono: Atlas of Management Thinking Edward de Bono, 2017-03-02 First published in 1981, this was the first book ever to be written explicitly for the right side of the reader’s brain. Much has been made of the research conducted into the left side of the brain – home to language and logic. The right side works in images, whole patterns and undefined feelings – none of which can be verbalized. This more elusive thinking often functions as what is loosely called ‘intuition’. In Atlas, de Bono shows us how to use the right side. It is an atlas because it is a visual reference of images and illustrations that point the reader in the right direction (literally). For anyone who has ever been told to trust their instinct, or who is concerned with management and decision-making, this book is a de Bono classic.

'If more bankers and traders had read Lateral Thinking and applied the ideas of Edward de Bono to their own narrow definitions of risk, reward and human expectations, I suspect we would be in much better shape than we are'Sir Richard Branson Edward de Bono invented the concept of lateral thinking. A world-renowned writer and philosopher, he is the leading authority in the field of creative thinking and the direct teaching of thinking as a skill. Dr de Bono has written more than 60 books, in 40 languages, with people now teaching his methods worldwide.

  lateral thinking for management de bono: How To Have A Beautiful Mind Edward de Bono, 2010-01-26 People spend a fortune on their bodies, their faces, their hair, their clothes. Cosmetics, plastic surgery, diets, gym membership - everyone's trying to be more attractive. But there's an easier way to become a beautiful person. It doesn't have to be physical. No matter how you look, if you have a mind that's fascinating, creative, exciting - if you're a good thinker - you can be beautiful. And being attractive doesn't necessarily come from being intelligent or highly-educated. It isn't about having a great personality. It's about using your imagination and expanding your creativity. And it's when talking with people that we make the greatest impact. A person may be physically beautiful, but when speaking to others a dull or ugly or uncreative mind will definitely turn them off. In clear, practical language, de Bono shows how by applying lateral and parallel thinking skills to your conversation you can improve your mind. By learning how to listen, make a point, and manoeuvre a discussion, you can become creative and more appealing - more beautiful.
  lateral thinking for management de bono: Six Frames Edward de Bono, 2008-09-04 Attention is a key part of thinking clearly and productively, and yet we pay very little attention to attention itself. If you see someone lying injured in the middle of the road, for example, your attention would go to that person but, if a bright pink dog wandered past at the same time, your attention would automatically stray to the dog. That is precisely the weakness of attention - it is pulled to the unusual. How much attention do we pay to the usual? So, what can we do about it? Instead of waiting for attention to be pulled towards something unusual, we can set out frameworks for 'directing' our attention in a conscious manner. Just as we can decide to look north, west or even south-east, so we can set up a framework for directing our attention, and that's where Edward de Bono's 'six frames' come in. Each frame is a direction or method in/with which to look, based on a different shape - triangle, circle, heart, square, diamond, slab. Today we are literally surrounded by information and it has never been so easy to obtain. Yet, information itself is not enough; it's how we look at it that really counts. Using the 'six frames' technique is the key to extracting real value from the masses of facts and figures out there and, like all de Bono's techniques, it is simple, effective and will utterly change the way you interpret information.
  lateral thinking for management de bono: How to Have Creative Ideas Edward de Bono, 2012-05-31 Everybody wants to be creative. Creativity makes life more fun, more interesting and more full of achievement, but too many people believe that creativity is something you are born with and cannot be learned. In How to Have Creative Ideas Edward de Bono - the leading authority on creative thinking - outlines 62 different games and exercises, built around random words chosen from a list, to help encourage creativity and lateral thinking. For example, if the task were to provide an idea for a new restaurant and the random word chosen was 'cloak', ideas generated might be: a highwayman theme; a Venetian theme with gondolas; masked waiters and waitresses. Or, if asked to make a connection between the two random words 'desk' and 'shorts', readers may come up with: both are functional; desks have 'knee holes' and shorts expose the knees; traditionally they were both male-associated items. All the exercises are simple, practical and fun, and can be done by anyone.
  lateral thinking for management de bono: The Mechanism of Mind Edward de Bono, 2015-07-02 The Mechanism of Mind presents Edward de Bono’s original theories on how the brain functions, processes information and organises it. It explains why the brain, the ’mechanism’, can only work in certain ways and introduces the four basic types of thinking that have gone on to inform his life’s work, namely ‘natural thinking’, ‘logical thinking’,’ mathematical thinking’ and ‘lateral thinking’. De Bono also outlines his argument for introducing the word ‘PO’ as an alternative to the word ‘NO’ when putting lateral thinking into practice. Drawing on colourful visual imagery to help explain his theories and thought-processes, from light bulbs and sugar cubes to photography and water erosion, The Mechanism of Mind remains as fascinating and as insightful as it was when it was first published in 1969. This is a must-read for anyone who wants to gain a greater understanding of how the mind works and organises information – and how Edward de Bono came to develop his creative thinking tools.

  lateral thinking for management de bono: Parallel Thinking Edward De Bono, 2017-02-28 Western thinking is failing because it was not designed to deal with change In this provocative masterpiece of creative thinking, Edward de Bono argues for a game-changing new way to think. For thousands of years we have followed the thinking system designed by the Greek philosophers Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, based on analysis and argument. But if we are to flourish in today’s rapidly changing world we need to free our minds of these ‘boxes’ and embrace a more flexible and nimble model. Parallel Thinking is an invaluable insight into the word of creativity; de Bono unveils unique methods of brainstorming and explains preconceived ideas of what creativity involves and is. This book is not about philosophy; it is about the practical (and parallel) thinking required to get things done in an ever-changing world.
  lateral thinking for management de bono: Handbook for a Positive Revolution Edward de Bono, 2018-08-02 Anyone can join the positive revolution. All you need is creativity. Historically, revolutions have been negative – defining, overthrowing or destroying an enemy, fuelled by a sense of mission and direction. After victory, however, this energy often races on, causing factionalism and strife among the victors. The positive revolution also has energy and direction, but its opponents are entrenched patterns in thought. Progress, maintains Edward de Bono – whether on a personal or global scale – depends on thinking and behaviour that are positive and constructive. The world today is undergoing dramatic, often violent changes, and human behaviour is frequently shaped by guilt and negativity. To lift this dark cloud and create positive revolution, we need to rely more on humour, a key element in changing perception. In this inspiring book, Edward de Bono demonstrates clearly and simply how we can learn to think and interact constructively, efficiently and with respect for core human values.
  lateral thinking for management de bono: Six Thinking Hats Edward De Bono, 1999 The internationally bestselling guide to better thinking used by tens of thousands of people - fully revised and updated. The need for the Six Hats is based on an understanding of how the brain chemicals change with the mode of thinking. Using this method one major corporation reduced the time taken for multinational project discussions from thirty days to just two days. Argument is inefficient, ineffective and extremely slow. Argument was never designed to be constructive. The parallel thinking of the six hats is rapidly replacing argument around the world. For two-thousand-four-hundred years we have been content with argument which was never designed to be constructive. Discovering 'what is' may not be the same as designing 'what can be'.

  lateral thinking for management de bono: Managing Sensitive Projects Olivier D'Herbemont, Bruno Cesar, 2018-10-24 Every day, managers must adapt to rapidly changing markets and situations. This book deals with sensitive or difficult projects, ranging from redundancy programs to disposal of radioactive waste, from the launch of a new product to the introduction of a new computer system. The authors use a revolutionary way to manage sensitive projects--the lateral approach. Derived from twenty years' experience working with managers, the lateral approach is a flexible and non- confrontational method that introduces change through an understanding of how people think and act. While communities and organizations often resist change even though they will benefit from it, this approach shows how projects can be successfully managed.
  lateral thinking for management de bono: Conflicts Edward De Bono, 2018-12-25 Think, don't fight. In today’s world we use an out of date thinking system to navigate our way through modern society, especially when it comes to conflicts and disagreements. Conflicts argues that instead of our age old system of debate we should adopt what de Bono calls a ‘design idiom’ and use lateral thinking to navigate a feud. If two parties think their argument is best, we should be introducing a third party role. De Bono explains how this concept of triangular thinking and map making is the way forward. By highlighting how the current system holds us back and offering practical alternatives De Bono paves the way for a fundamental shift in conflict resolution.

  lateral thinking for management de bono: The Six Value Medals Edward de Bono, 2011-09-30 Traditional thinking habits of businesses need to be greatly improved. Analysis and judgement are no longer enough to make important corporate decisions; you can analyse the past but you have to design the future. Corporate decisions depend on values. Disputes and conflicts often arise because of a clash of those values; each party in the dispute wants to pursue its own values, often at the expense of the other party. It is therefore essential that companies, managers and employees have a full understanding of the values of everyone involved to design a way forward that benefits all parties. From the bestselling author of How to Have a Beautiful Mind and Six Thinking Hats, this groundbreaking business book provides a basis for value assessment, an essential tool in decision-making for 21st century corporations. De Bono demonstrates that values come into all areas of thinking, behaviour and decision-making and outlines a framework to focus employees' attention on a variety of values including human values, organisational values, cultural values and perceptual values. By introducing a scoring system to rate different values as strong, sound, weak or remote de Bono helps readers to prioritise and make executive decisions that count.

He mixed socially with powerful people, but he never stopped challenging their limited beliefs. He travelled the globe, bringing his lateral thinking techniques to schools, corporations, and leaders in crisis. Adored by advertising agencies, misunderstood by the media, and mistrusted by academia, De Bono became a household name dominating the field of creative thinking for half a century. With contributions from de Bono’s former wife, Josephine de Bono, Sir Tony Blair, HRH Prince Philip and many others who knew de Bono – plus rare photographs from his family. Reviews “The book is filled with the voices of people who knew, loved, admired and worked with him... It’s de Bono viewed from the side, as remembered by those who were fond of him. It’s to Tucker’s credit that now such a private man comes into view so much more clearly... It leaves us free to engage with de Bono’s legacy, head on.” _ Ranier Fsadni, Times of Malta Edward de Bono sideways (timesofmalta.com) Book Review by Michael Hewitt-Gleeson – School of Thinking “Love Laterally is a 2024 book about Edward de Bono by Sarah Tucker. The book truly lives up to its snappy name. There is lots of love. There is lots of lateral thinking. I enjoyed it immensely and also learned a lot about a man that I knew very well for fifty years. Edward de Bono’s books about Lateral thinking and thinking outside the box are concepts that are part of our culture and here to stay. Many of us have long since benefitted from Edward’s instruction and many others are yet to do so. Even a single sentence from this great thinker can change a brain and change a life... There are many fascinating stories and insights in this easy to read and lovely book...” – Michael Hewitt-Gleeson, schoolofthinking.org “Riveting read of a man who led his life in the fast lane and created a way for others to do the same.” – Dave Trott, advertising guru “An amazing and perceptive biography.” – Anne Sebba, author of That Woman: The Life of Wallis 'I loved this book so much. I initially never heard the name, Edward de Bono but after learning that he is behind what it’s means to be a creative thinker and think outside the box I was fascinated. After reading this book I learned a lot more about Edward de Bono and understood how he thought the way he did. When I read the book there were events in his life that I couldn’t believe were real but I loved all the juicy stories that made him the man he was. It’s a shame that there is a generation of people who don’t know who he is and what he brought to the world.' ***** -Amazon reviewer About the authors Sarah Tucker is the best-selling author of seven novels, seven children’s books and seven books on wellbeing and mental health for adults, young adults and children.
