– What is lateral thinking?
In: 499
Imagine you’re on a plain and see one person coming for you. You might think that that’s ok and continue walking.
Now imagine that instead of continue walking, you’d make some lateral steps and you might see that behind that person there are either 2 persons hiding behind, or the person is carrying someone wounded. Now you’d make a completely different decision, either to hide or to run for help.
Lateral thinking would mean to look at a problem from a different angle so that you have a different set of constraints to steer towards a decision.
