🟠 Linear thinking: I know the logic, rules, and norms surrounding this problem. 🔵 Lateral thinking: This hasn't been solved traditionally, what's possible? Linear thinking helps us rationalize. Lateral thinking helps us overcome.

When solving problems, we can blindly favour rigid processes without questioning the value. Not only does this eat time, but it blocks against learning and course corrections; leading to poor solutions, and unfulfilled teams. Problem solve like a scientist by testing assumptions.

When leading a team, small or large, it is important to have a deep understanding of what it takes to make things happen. Although we learn from our past experiences, every encounter is different. The map is not the territory, and the best way to know the territory is to walk it.

From two years of learnings from running remote workshops, we've created Interacts. A tool for boosting interaction in meetings and workshops. It's in closed beta, but if you're super interested, try it with this early access code: interacts-vip. Link: interactsapp.com

Traditional algorithms not cutting it? No matter how complex? AI ones learn from data — adapting to what fixed rules can’t. Rishal Hurbans’ Grokking AI Algorithms, 2nd Ed shows how they work, with clear visuals & projects. Now in MEAP! 50% off w/ hurbans2ML thru 11/4:

AI runs on algorithms but choosing and understanding them isn't always obvious. Grokking AI Algorithms, 2nd ed. by Rishal Hurbans explains the why behind core AI algorithms with clarity and visuals, not walls of math. Watch the First Chapter Summary: hubs.la/Q03-qHQf0
