Lateral Thinking the New Thinking Which Makes the Difference
Marc V Rooij, Analyst, Netherlands
Last century the steam engine replaced muscle power. Currently computers are replacing models and linear processes.
We have been trained in a linear way at universities and apply this in our business. However this is easy to copy. In the future the differentiation factor will be the ability to think along different lines and paths. Lateral thinking is difficult to copy, not seldom it goes hand in hand with visual thinking.
Both are going to be essential assets to succeed in the future.
