Providing A Compelling Argument For Parallel Thinking<\/strong><\/h2>\nMost of the world\u2019s main issues continue precisely because we have such an excellent way of problem-solving. This sentence is not meant to be snarky. We do have a fantastic problem-solving strategy. However, it is so excellent that we have come to assume it will fix all difficulties. As a result, we have not bothered to design any alternative way. The excellent is often the adversary of the best. When something is excellent, we tend to rest on our laurels.<\/p>\n
What is this wonderful, time-honored way of problem-solving? It is another illustration of the fundamental notion that if you remove the wrong things, you will be left with the good ones. So, in general, you assess the issue, find the reason, and then proceed to eliminate the cause. The issue is fixed because the source of the problem is eliminated. It works! De Bono contends that this overall strategy is straightforward and effective when it works. However, there are specific issues for which no cause can be identified. Other problems have several causes that cannot be eliminated. Then there are instances where you can identify the source but not eliminate it. What should we do in such cases?<\/p>\n
By adopting a parallel thinking position, we acknowledge the greatness of the general technique of treating a problem by finding and eliminating the source. Still, we also need to do something about those situations when the method just does not work. Are they intractable issues? Perhaps, but we should at least attempt some alternative approaches.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\nNow, why don\u2019t you attempt this fantastic thinking typologies technique in your teams? Choose a conversation subject (e.g., an idea a team came up with). Make someone in charge of the meeting (blue hat). Explain each hat in turn and allow the group to explore the issue from that hat\u2019s perspective. Encourage them to record the dialogue on a whiteboard so that you may build on it later.<\/p>\n

Isn\u2019t life all about problem-solving? Influential leaders can discover solutions to challenging issues in a continuously changing environment, an ability that arises from developing problem-solving skills across the board. And indeed, even though most company executives speak about addressing issues, they are typically in reactive states, which means that these problems are never entirely fixed.
