Hello there, I’m Mark. I work as a pharmacist, and I write passionately about the human ability of pattern recognition.

From Puzzle Solving to Pattern Spotting: The Power of Lateral Thinking in Recognising Complex Patterns
Mark Aziz

Enter Lateral Thinking.

It is all about:

  • Finding the dominant ideas that distinguish our perception

  • Seeing the problem from different angles

  • Flexibility for more ideas

  • Harness the power of spontaneity for ideation.

How it helps pattern recognition:

  • Breaks Preconceived Notions - encourages fresh perspectives to challenge conventional ways of thinking.

  • Embracing Strangeness - making unusual connections allows for the discovery of hidden patterns and relationships that may not be apparent through traditional analytical approaches

  • Creativity Booster - using the combination of unconventional ideas and thinking outside the box, our next big innovation may not be far from your grasp after all!

Actionable Techniques you can use right now:

  • Ask Questions - questions are the starting points to challenge assumptions.

  • Build an Idea Generation Machine - always have a system in place when an idea comes to mind.

  • Be Playful - be free and enjoy the power of obtaining ideas that resonate with you.
