RECOMMENDATIONS FOR
JAMES P. (PAT) CARLISLE

“Thanks for such a fantastic session. The ‘Hats’ thinking structure is something we will benefit from for years to come. It was great to spend time with you.”

- Roger Blythe, Vice President-Business Analysis Chick-fil-A

"As founder and long time CEO of Lancaster Laboratories, I was always on the lookout for good external advisors who could help my company. Pat Carlisle was one of those important persons in the 80's and 90's during our most rapid growth. Able to work with all levels, we used him extensively in the development of our key leadership team. His expertise with the Edward de Bono thinking methods and special relationship with Dr. Edward de Bono only add to what he brings to the table. I highly recommend him!"

What We Believe

de Bono Thinking Systems Authorized DistributorWe believe thinking is the ultimate human resource.
For too long, however, our ability to think has been limited by the almost exclusive use of analysis and critique. A methodology developed over 2,500 years ago as part of our Greek tradition of thinking, it's primary focus was to examine 'what is' and to see if things fit or did not fit particular categories. As a thinking methodology critique and analysis was and is not designed to help you move forward. Given the pace of change today, what is needed is a new methodology, one based on movement and design or 'what does this lead to.'

 

We have that 'leads to' method in the tools based approach developed by Dr. Edward de Bono, the world's leading authority of conceptual, parallel and creative (lateral) thinking. Building on your knowledge and use of analytical, critical thinking we add to the set of thinking tools you will have available. If you only have a hammer, everything looks like a nail. We provide you with the complete tool set. We will help you put together your corporate tool kit for thinking, our software for the mind, so you can construct the kind of company you dream about.
