Not that I am aware of Lateral Thinking being used by anyarmy anywhere but to me it appeals to reason that all large organisations including army have to manage non-technical operationswhere LT could be a useful tool to get solutions.However,Six hat…
Yes, thank you for that. I was particularily interested in the article because it puts in succinct form some very good ideas about developing democracy.
Edward wrote an article on Democracy for an English newspaper, (it was I think The Sunday Times but I am not sure,) several years ago. It was an inspiring article where he further developed the idea of Democracyfrom the rough and ready version we ha…
those who type with two fingers
2 fingers? If i am feeling lazy enough i type with one.
One of my approaches to learning to type, while typing, was to print out a smaller version of the keyboard and tape it to the monitor... (It would work on bigger screens to merely download a picture of a keyboard and leave it on the desktop. )

Typists generally fall into two camps - those who are trained and those who type with two fingers. And as Edward has pointed out elsewhere if you are a two finger typist practise will only make you a better two finger typist.But I was watching my so…

mostly through practising the exercises. (Practise, practise, practise!)
interesting weekly comment on edwdebono.com concerning doctors . . . !
You've been doing some red hat thinking! The military world is not like medicine where doctors are supposed to diagnose and follow through with set solutions. Yes, soldiers do have to follow orders but the possibilies for lateral thinking increase t…
Yes, I was aware of the context in which the army operate but it struck me that it would be a fertile area in which to introduce idea creativity. I would disagree completely about the military option occurring when thinking fails although I understa…
Edward de Bono has often said that it is the business world which 'gets' lateral thinking because it is a results based world. I was reading recently about the British Army out in Afghanistan and it struck me that the world the frontline soldier inh…
In some respect conventional media is actually pretty limited and it may be that we will view newspapers in the future as unbelievably crude. The reason I say this is because I am constantly surprised and inspired by www.TED.com, which must be consi…
