Edward de Bono`s `Conflicts: A Better Way to Resolve Them` (also found on Amazon.com and de Bono Thinking Systems) proposes shifting from adversarial debate to a `design idiom` using lateral thinking. It advocates for mapping conflict terrain, utilizing triangular thinking, and generating creative alternatives rather than relying solely on compromise or consensus.Key Concepts from `Conflicts`Move Beyond Debate: De Bono argues that traditional adversarial debate is an outdated, confrontational system.The `Design Idiom`: This approach focuses on designing a new solution, rather than just arguing who is right or wrong, as detailed in the Amazon Kindle edition.Conflict Mapping: Instead of attacking, parties should map the `terrain` of the conflict, as discussed in this book summary on Medium.Lateral Thinking: Using creative thinking to uncover new solutions that were not initially apparent.Triangular Thinking: Encourages using a third-party view to break the two-party deadlock.Alternatives to Traditional NegotiationCompromise vs. Design: De Bono states that compromise means both sides lose something, whereas his `design` approach aims to create a new, better outcome.Moving Beyond Consensus: He argues that consensus often results in the `lowest common denominator` of agreement, whereas creative, lateral thinking can find better alternatives.The book, available for loan on Internet Archive, acts as a practical guide for handling conflicts in personal, professional, and political contexts.
