Zum Teil mehrmals selbe Beispiele. Kein konsistentes Design. Kam mir vor wie eine Abfolge von YouTube Videos. Trotzdem Brauchbar. Gute Einführung in das Thema.

It gives you the opportunity, be open minded, look at other means or different approach to resolve an issue. Just because you did one way today, does not mean you cannot do it another way tomorrow.

I understand these are all famous speakers but he kept plugging in his books and similar it felt like a long ad more often than not.

as a analyst you should always ask multiple questions to ensure that you truly understand what the result that you are working towards. i enjoyed the lateral thinking with images and illusions. because everyone sees different that can spark conversations.

I enjoyed this course. I love to hear about how things have come about and I found this interesting. Also, the concept of asking basic questions is a smart one. To often we try to develop top down rather than starting with simplist questions. Thank you.

The content was engaging. I enjoyed the connection with innovation. The Brainstorming techniques are memorable and I lookforward to incoporating them to support creative problem solving. Lastly, the puzzles are amazing. I will add them to my next team meeting.

This was a great course. Although the word paradigm was not used, it is important to review challenges from multiple perspectives, and Lateral Thinking certainly teaches that concept.

I have experienced that some accidents happening would have given me different perspective in life. Those often useful... Now I have bigger eyes thru this lesson. I like Harness the Random. Thank you.

There was a lot of good information, but many examples were used repeatedly throughout the course. There were many more examples of occurrences of lateral thinking than information about how to develop your own lateral thinking.
