With CAF you can very quickly and effectively create a collection of information on a given approach. This helps each individual break away from their own experiences and increase the number of perspectives on the problem. This makes the view of the task more comprehensive and it is precisely the hidden or hard-to-see factors that come to light.
CAF stands for “CONSIDER ALL FACTS”. This means that one should be aware of all the factors associated with a rough specification and thus also be free of evaluations.
This method, developed by Edward de Bono (originally called CAF = consider all factors), uses lateral thinking to free the individual observer from habitual, and thus entrenched, views. In particular, it is important to look at the new points of view in a non-judgmental way and to open oneself to a point of view.
