In addition to the serial-parallel and linear-associative thinking models, I am trying to integrate these ideas with those in Edward de Bono’s work on lateral thinking as they relate to group dynamics and interpersonal communications in this shift we’re experiencing. The groups and organizations I’ve exposed to these models generally have a very satisfactory “aha!” moment when the pieces fall into place.

The kids (of all ages) that I’ve seen exposed to Six Thinking Hats and it’s modal, consensual, and sequenced approach to dialog have gained an important edge in adding clarity to virtual interactions.

I’ve only quite recently come across your blog and I am entralled. I have always had a fascination with why people do the things they do and if you ready my 5 things you don’t know about me post at my blog you’ll quickly discover that I have a passion forensics. Now how does this relate to any of your posts? Easily forensics helps us learn more about the criminal aspect of our society and your posts have enlightened us to the fascinating evolution of the Web! Some cultural anthroplogy knowledge dump is the next on my list and your blog has certainly ignited my desire to do so. I’m going to be picking up “A Whole New Mind” by Daniel Pink. Keep doing what you’re doing, the information is provacative, brain charged, and simply very, very interesting.
