It's easy to get stuck in a rut, or "turn native" when faced with a problem, a way of working, or when a decision is needed.
And when working in groups, you may also sometimes wonder where others' viewpoints are and where their suggestions (which may not always appear helpful) are coming from.
Edward do Bono suggests taking a number of different view points when in this type of situation as a way to guide the thinking process.
- White - just consider the facts
- Red - whats your gut feel
- Black - apply logic to the flaws and problems
- Yellow - apply logic to the good things
- Green - be creative, what else could happen
- Blue - think about the thinking process.
