A DOSE OF LATERAL THINKING

摘要

MACAU, MACAU BUSINESS, MAG, MB, MB FEATURED, OPINION | THE LATE PSYCHOLOGIST, BUSINESS AND MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT EDWARD DE BONO GAINED A WORLDWIDE REPUTATION FOR ‘LATERAL THINKING’, WHICH INCLUDED HIS ‘SIX THINKING HATS’ AND ‘TOOLS FOR THINKING’. THOUGH HIS WORK IS ARGUABLY ONLY PLAUSIBLE PSEUDOSCIENCE, HIS ‘TOOLS FOR THINKING’ REMAIN INTERESTING. CONSIDER SOME OF THESE FROM HIS COGNITIVE RESEARCH TRUST (CORT), IN APPROACHING PLANNING, E.G.: CAF (CONSIDER ALL FACTORS)||EBS (EXAMINE BOTH SIDES)||AND OPV (CONSIDER OTHER PEOPLE’S VIEWS). HERE I APPLY THEM TO MACAU.
