Program Brochure

The specific purpose of the CoRT tools is to broaden perception so that in any thinking situation we can see beyond the obvious, immediate and egocentric. Experience has shown that students who have been through the lessons develop a much broader view of situations.

CoRT Thinking allows us to focus attention directly on different aspects of thinking and crystallise these processes into definite concepts and tools that can be used deliberately to move our thinking along. CoRT is sometimes described as Directional Thinking, as well as Breadth Thinking.

Why use de Bono tools?

• Look beyond boundaries and self–limiting perspectives
