Dr. Edward de Bono

The originator of the term 'Lateral Thinking', de Bono's techniques enable those trained to use creativity as a tangible business commodity that can be harnessed on-demand for deliberate competitive advantage.

Although de Bono's methods are based on a technical understanding of the brain, the methods are very simple and practical. He believes that the traditional emphasis on analysis, critical thinking and argument is inadequate. He puts emphasis on constructive and creative thinking.
