Thinking Organizations
I'm back after a long sabbatical (only 3 days actually ;) ) since kite flying took its toll on my LAN cable.
I was going through my company portal today and I found that we have a product that helps people to think and companies to develop Thinking Organizations. It is based on Edward deBono's Six Thinking Hats theory wherein a person must take on a complete mindset that is suitable for a particular situation and then think of a solution to that situation. The software apparently aids this mindset transition and helps keep tab of what they call Thinking Sessions. A lot of management speak, but honestly it's got me a bit curious at least, if not interested.
Basically it says, "To catch a serial killer, think like one" in a hundred or so pages to earn the author a few million :) No offense to Edward deBono, just that the message was that obvious, or so it seems to the uninformed non-reader (me). But yes, I guess most times we miss such obvious things such as aligning ourselves to the situation we face.
