"All valuable creative ideas are logical in hindsight. However, initially they are usually invisible to logic. Lateral Thinking™ gives you the power to see"      "You can analyse the past but you have to design the future."       "Thinking is a skill that can be taught. Unless we teach thinking we waste over fifty per cent of the talent available in society."       “The quality of our thinking will determine the quality of our future” " Like the front left wheel of a car, our traditional thinking is excellent - but inadequate."       "Thinking is far too often concerned with the judgement of "what is" rather than the design of "what can be."        "Many highly intelligent people are poor thinkers. Many people of average intelligence are skilled thinkers. The power of a car is separate from the way the car is driven."       "Some people drift along like a cork on a river, feeling that they cannot do anything except drift, moment to moment. This is an attitude of mind. Everyone can be constructive even in tiny ways."       "Humour is by far the most significant activity of the human brain."       "If you never change your mind, why have one?"      "Perception is real even when it is not reality"       "You can analyse the past but you have to design the future"       "The quality of our future will depend directly on the quality of our thinking"        "If you do not design your own future, someone else will do it for you"       "In winning an argument you gain nothing, in losing you gain another point of view"       "A good idea never excludes a better one" "Intelligence is like the horse-power of a car - thinking is the skill with which the car is driven"       "You do not use the reverse gear all the time but when you need it you really do. It's the same with creativity"       "If you learn the successes of the past you risk being trapped by them"      "Possibility is to progress as hunger is to cooking"      "Everyone behaves logically within a personal bubble of perception, values and experience"      "Arrogance is the real system sin because it cuts the system off from reaction and reality"      "With a provocation there may not be a reason for saying something until after it is said"      ""I think therefore I am" I do, therefore I matter"

A course for Leaders in the war on unneeded complexity

There are few things more annoying and frustrating in work than dealing with a piece of complex machinery or a cumbersome process which will not do what you need done. From complexity comes stress, anxiety and frustration – even rage – followed by apathy and exit. But you don’t have to be a victim anymore. Not with the course Simplicity.  

Now you can get the tools and support to move your company in exactly this direction. Simplicity™ is a course created by Edward de Bono which is invaluable to companies looking to uncomplicated their business processes and thus, their lives.

If your organisation is looking for ways to streamline products and processes, so you can become more effective, efficient and user-friendly, Simplicity™ will help you accomplish these goals. Simplicity™ teaches people how to end habits that are no longer necessary, stop duplication of tasks and challenge every aspect of business so that they can perform at a higher level in all areas.

In Simplicity™, an instructor-led training event plus on-going follow-up plan, you will learn how to institute creative techniques like shedding, reframing, bulk-and-exceptions, and historical review to shift group thinking to a ‘challenge’ mode where moving from complex to simple is the name of the game.

Your company will benefit by:

  • Reducing unnecessary duplication of efforts to increase ROI

  • Removing age-old roadblocks and barriers, which will increase employee and customer satisfaction

  • Free your employees to think through new ideas more quickly, leading to faster to-market innovations
  • Increased ROI. Increased employee and customer satisfaction. Increased innovation. Need we say more?

    It is time to start saving time, energy and needless stress – among your customers, clients, vendors and employees.
