OUT OF THE BOX THINKING

It means to look further and try out not to think obvious things but try to think beyond the USUAL. BOX means rigid and square, which symbolizes constraint and your imaginative thinking.

It is also known as lateral thinking by Edward De Bono.

inside the box thinking cannot recognize the quality of an idea. for them "an idea is an idea and a solution is a solution". it means accepting the status. we find difficult to recognize the quality of an idea. those who are inside the box thinkers they are short sighted. they don't invest time to turn a common solution into a great solution.

Main attributes to think out of the box.

    1. willingness to take new perspectives.
    2. openness to do things differently.
    3. focusing on the value of finding new idea and ACTING on it.
    4. Starving to creativity value in new case.
    5. listening to others.
    6. supporting and respecting others when they come up with an idea.

out of the box thinking requires openness to a new way of seeing the world and willingness to explore.
" most complex situations do have a solution, its only that we don't attempt to think".


According to edward de bono, one should be free from constrains, tradition and history in order to be creative. he has designed several techniques and these have been divided in three broad categories CAP.

Challenge : the one who does not accept the status code, challenge yourself that you can create better, you must challenge the perfect also.

Alternative: you have to be in a dynamic state of affairs and not static. "ab kya hoga?" shouldnt be there in out of the box thinking.

Provocative : keep Provoking yourself even if the idea is the bestest according to you, keep poking yourself to win from yourself.

HAPPY THINKING :)
