I'm a software developer and thinking enthusiast.

I believe that Edward de Bono's work represents probably the third most important thing going on in the world today.

The most important things are, of course, the projects I am working on:

1. Creating software that allows people with no interest in technology to create interactive web sites.

2. Creating an online learning environment so that more youngsters can bypass school.

Apology to Dennis Perrin

Posted on March 29, 2012 at 6:48 1 Comment

Several months ago I suggested to moderators on the de Bono Society that if Dennis Perrin was getting too annoying they should stop wasting their time responding to him. Unfortunately that was in the context of a discussion about tension between Dennis and others, and I may have contributed to Dennis feeling or being excluded.

Looking back I feel bad that I did not state at the time that Dennis is the best advocate for de Bono thinking that we have on this site and that we should…

Whose fault?

Posted on February 10, 2011 at 20:13 10 Comments

Yesterday something went wrong and a young person told me it was my fault.

 

This got me thinking about the airplane crash investigator who said that when a plane goes down there is always more than one reason.  That is, that there is more than one person at fault.

 

I believe that in France when there is a traffic accident the drivers of both vehicles may end up in court:  ie. each party may be at fault.

 

I am interested in hearing from people as…

Working with others

Posted on December 16, 2010 at 21:26 2 Comments

It seems to me that many people are limited to two modes of operating:

 

1: Do what I'm told.

2: Do what I feel like.

 

It seems to me that there needs to be a third mode:

 

3: Interact with others to quickly and effeciently explore individual values and ambitions and collaboratively design a solution that best suits all.

 

I need to think of some activities that youngsters can do to get good at Mode 3.

Do youngsters know how things work?

Posted on August 6, 2010 at 23:00 5 Comments

I visited a local school open day yesterday and the ten year olds who showed me around seemed to know a lot of facts but I wondered whether they knew much about how things worked.

Edward de Bono often says that school kids should be taught how the corner shop works - but it seems very unlikely that this school would ever teach this. For example, at that school the five year olds learnt how to read from a computer connected to a website. But children taught to think would ask…

The MySchool Saga

Posted on March 13, 2010 at 10:34 1 Comment

The Australian government released some statistics on how school were performing in teaching reading and writing. They called it the "My School Website".

This website (www.myschool.edu.au) allows you to look at those stats. Now there's another MySchool website with a very similar address www.myschool.com.au, which allows people to discuss those statistics.

But the second site is…

Thank you Phil for your welcoming remarks. I have been training Six Thinking Hats and Lateral Thinking in China for the past three years and have enjoyed very much of these systematic and disciplined thinking tools. In China we need them badly to guide decision-making and designing of products and processes. I am looking forward to sharing and exchanging insights with colleagues and friends here.

Hi Phil

Thanks for your comments. Did i do something wrong with my photo? Or is it just a bad photo?

Looking back in hindsight it does look a bit like a mug shot lol.

Hello Phil, thanks for your warm welcome. I am wondering how can I get a certified training on Mr. De Bono´s techniques, it can be either in US or UK.
Your recomendation will be warmly appreciated.
Cheers
Mariano

Thanks a lot. I am recent turned De Bono fan, just two days old, and I think these ideas are treasures that I need to get conversant with.

Thanks for the Welcome
