The term Lateral Thinking coined by Edward de Bono, a psychologist,
physician, and writer. It is a deliberate “thinking method” that has to do
with perception.
The entry in the Concise English Dictionary reads: “seeking to solve
problems by unorthodox or apparently illogical methods.”
Lateral Thinking is concerned with changing concepts and perceptions.
It is about reasoning that is not immediately obvious and about ideas
that may not be obtainable by using only traditional step-by-step logic.
Lateral Thinking is related to insight, creativity and humour – a sudden
change of perspective, thus meaning.
