Lateral thinking

Lateral thinking breaks the linear chains of logic to find oblique solutions—shifting perspective, making unusual connections, or reframing the problem itself rather than solving what you were originally given. It requires a willingness to abandon what seems obvious and let the mind wander into less-traveled territory.
