In today's world we use an out of date thinking system to navigate our
way through modern society, especially when it comes to conflicts and
disagreements. Conflicts argues that instead of our age old system of
debate we should adopt what de Bono calls a "design idiom" and use
lateral thinking to navigate a feud. If two parties think their argument
is best, we should be introducing a third party role. De Bono explains
how this concept of triangular thinking and map making is the way
forward. By highlighting how the current system holds us back and
offering practical alternatives De Bono paves the way for a fundamental
shift in conflict resolution.
