Use the incredible potential of lateral thinking, as described by Edward de Bono in his “bible” Serious Creativity, with the Lateral Map.
The Lateral Map (an A3 worksheet) shows you one of the countless approaches of lateral thinking in a very concrete way – it is about pattern change by chance.
The Lateral Map is immediately applicable without training, and it makes people curious to think more laterally. The Lateral Map promotes the creative development process of people and, with prolonged use, eliminates beliefs such as, “I am not creative.”
Lateral Map Worksheet
The worksheet is divided into three sections:
– The lateral zone: Here random terms are created as lateral jump points.
– The association zone: Here the random terms are multiplied associatively.
– The Idea Zone: This is where lateral thinking takes place.
