The on-line Effective Thinking Course starts a new session now with commentary by Edward de Bono on each lesson
EDWARD DE BONO Edward de Bono is regarded by many to be the leading authority in the world in the field of creative thinking and the direct teaching of thinking as a skill. He has written 62 books with translations into 37 languages and has been invited to lecture in 54 countries. He is the originator of lateral thinking which treats creativity as the behaviour of information in a self-organising information system - such as the neural networks in the brain. From such a consideration arise the deliberate and formal tools of lateral thinking, parallel thinking etc.
There follows a weekly message from Edward de Bono. The index to the site contents follow after the message.
MESSAGE FOR WEEK BEGINNING 17th November 2008 Computer Analysis
There is a growing tendency for corporations to feed all available data into a computer. The computer analyses the data and this shapes the strategy of the corporation and makes decisions. This is a dangderous tendency because thinking is locked into the old concepts which form the basis of the analyis.
There is a need for creative thinking in order to look at information in different ways. This is quite separate, and additional, to the use of creativity to find new ways of using the data.
There are examples of medical research which seems to prove a point but only because the original data has been assumed to be one thing when it was actually another. Does smoking cannabis produce schizophrenia or do people with a schizophrenic tendency enjoy smoking cannabis more than others?
