2. Lateral Thinking

Jeremy Thomas and Myron Weber explore the use of lateral thinking as a valuable technique for mental modeling. Mental models employing lateral thinking are useful for day-to-day problem solving and decision making. And as discussed in this episode, lateral thinking is an important part of the 6-stage Strategy to Execution model.

Other key topics include:

  • Identifying and mitigating common hazards in the path from strategy to results.
  • What is chiastic structure, and what does it have to do with Mental Supermodels?
  • What’s it like to hang out with Edward de Bono at a party?
