The value of lateral thinking
Lateral thinking can bear huge dividends in certain parts of a business.
- In finance, there are seldom new approaches to fundraising being considered as part of business continuity planning. However, there are many opportunities to think outside the box and solve problems.
- People management is another area. The question to consider in HR is how to build talent pools for the future, and how to help people learn quickly and well.
The critical point is this: it does not matter where you work or what you do, the ability to problem-solve and think critically is an increasingly in-demand skill, especially in times of change or crisis.
