de Bono Thinking 24 x 7:
Software to maximise your creativity
Question: What if your computer could not only capture your work, but could also harness your thoughts and help create new ideas on demand?
Answer: Now it can. Innovative problem solving just got easier using the de Bono 24x7™ software.
Available in two editions - Personal and Collaborative - this easy to use, easy to implement software is the world’s first e-Tool that guides, harnesses and maximises teams thinking using Dr Edward de Bono’s thinking methods.
Software Overview

de Bono 24x7™ is an e-Tool supporting Dr. Edward de Bono's Six Thinking Hats® and Lateral Thinking™ training. It allows individuals and teams to apply the de Bono concepts in business and personal settings.
The software enables the use of Six Hats and Lateral Thinking to generate ideas or think on a subject, individually or virtually, via a user-friendly computer interface. It stores your ideas and facilitates paperless administration, allowing the output of all thinking sessions to be quickly and effortlessly stored and found in a searchable database for future reference.
Individual or team use? What does de Bono 24x7 do for me?
First and foremost the software helps you think. You can use it on you own – through what we call the Personal Edition – or in a group via our Collaborative Edition.
- Personal Edition - With the de Bono 24x7 Personal Edition, individuals and teams can apply essential thought processes for fast, efficient and innovative output on practical business issues.
- Collaborative Edition – The de Bono 24x7 Collaborative Edition allows virtual teams to collaborate over their Local Area Network (LAN) using either Six Thinking Hats® or Lateral Thinking™. This truly innovative way of holding your de Bono meetings means that teams across cities, countries or the globe can now meet in real-time without the cost or inconvenience of travel.
Whichever version you choose de Bono 24x7™ provides a framework for solving problems, making good decisions, generating innovative ideas and designing win-win solutions. Team, department and organisation-wide use gets everyone into the habit of using systematic thinking for measurably improved results.
What is the benefit of using de Bono 24x7 after my de Bono training?
It has long been known that if you use freshly learnt techniques once a day for up to 28 days after your training workshop you will change behaviour. Using de Bono 24x7™ will dramatically improve your daily application of the de Bono training, sustaining the learning and increasing the corporate return on investment.
What now? I want to try before I buy
We understand that technology comes and goes. However this software, developed by global consulting group TATA Consulting, a $2.5 billion company, has the support and infrastructure that means many leading de Bono trained organisations are rolling out this software to help their organisations.
We understand that you still might be sceptical and so we have trial copies of both the Personal and Collaborative Editions for you to try.
