What is lateral thinking?…
IT IS A TECHNIQUE OF THINKING, WHICH SEEKS CHANGES IN PERCEPTION, CONCEPTS AND IDEAS THROUGH THE USE OF FORMAL THINKING TOOLS. The mind has evolved certain thought patterns which help us to quickly and sometimes instantly cope with routine problems but do not help us to handle non-routine situations, This is where the set of tools that constitute lateral thinking help us to break out of the routine patterns and come up with changed perceptions and unusual ideas.
