Lateral Thinking is Divergent Thinking
Lateral thinking is hypothesizing the alternate ways of solving a problem. It involves divergent thinking and, at times, intuition. People can be trained to think laterally. Developing a culture of divergent thinking facilitates lateral thinking.

Lateral Thinking is Divergent Thinking
Seems like the lateral thinking method accommodates out of the box thinking, which we commonly apply for a solution deadlock and when there is no clue on something, which is so important these days.

Divergent and Convergent Thinking
I attended a workshop held by a company probably having this as one of their properties, but they basically divide in "Divergent" and "Convergent" thinking. And they are not mutually excluding, but recursively alternating. First you diverge (lateral) to space out and include also extreme possibilities; then you converge (vertical) sharpening the best ideas into reality and feasibility.
