#5 The Four Most Powerful Types of Creative Thinking

Future Proofing & Stargazing

Grounding is about making sure the company fulfills all its legal requirements, manages risks properly and does business in a responsible way. It is about all the vital things we associate with board oversight tasks in corporate governance, compliance and corporate risk. But with that comes an equally and perhaps even more important role: grounding needs to be complemented by stargazing. This is where a board demonstrates its mettle in making sure their organization is ready and able to expand its horizons, strive to achieve more and stretch itself to become the robust and resilient business that is capable of responding effectively to the unknowns in its future. Stargazing should be a big component of the strategic work a board does. Both grounding and stargazing require asking questions, looking beyond the obvious and the comfortable, and actively engaging with the organization.

Parallel thinking is a term coined and implemented by Edward de Bono.[1][2] Parallel thinking is described as a constructive alternative to "adversarial thinking", debate and in general the approach the GG3 (Greek gang of three) has been known to advocate.[3] In general parallel thinking is a further development of the well known lateral thinking processes, focusing even more on explorations—looking for what can be rather than for what is.

Parallel thinking

Definition[edit] Parallel thinking is defined as a thinking process where focus is split in specific directions. When done in a group it effectively avoids the consequences of the adversarial approach (as used in courts). In adversarial debate, the objective is to prove or disprove statements put forward by the parties (normally two). This is also known as the dialectic approach. Crucial to the method is that the process is done in a disciplined manner, and that all participants play along and contribute in parallel.

Ce concept est souvent utilisé en conjonction avec la pensée convergente, qui suit un ensemble particulier d'étapes logiques pour parvenir à une solution qui, dans certains cas, est une solution « correcte ». La pensée divergente se produit en principe dans un cadre spontané et non dirigé, de façon à ce que de nombreuses idées soient générées d'une façon aléatoire et non organisée. Plusieurs solutions possibles sont envisagées dans un court laps de temps, et des possibilités inattendues se dessinent.
