Are you a lateral thinker? Lateral thinking is an art of solving problems using a creative approach. Linear or vertical thinking involves solving problems based on a sequence of direct and logical steps, it follows a set pattern. Lateral thinking helps you to access your creative part of the brain to look at the problem in a completely different way and come up with unique, innovative solutions.
If you observe the past few decades we have moved from a linear thinking approach towards lateral thinking. The global organizations who were following conventional methods have adapted to the changes and have refined their thought processes using lateral thinking. This has helped the organizations to scale efficiently at a rapid pace.
How can you develop lateral thinking? By thinking outside of the box, learning from past mistakes and not repeating them again. It seems simple from the outside but when you practice it, you will know. And you only get better with practicing, as there is no denying that with experience you become an expert. As you become more creative, you will master the art of solving problems with finesse.
