"Edward de Bono Creative Team ^TM"

"It is my ambition to set up the most powerful focus of human resources ever created in history. It is my intention to enlist up to 5 million creative thinkers world-wide to apply their creative and design skills to world issues......." Edward de Bono's Message 1st December 1996

The "Edward de Bono Creative Team ^TM" will consist of members who are interested in applying Edward de Bono's thinking skills and techniques to problem solving and creativity.

There are no qualifications for membership except a desire and a motivation to be creative. There is no requirement to have attended any course or seminar run by Edward de Bono or one of his accredited trainers. It would be helpful if prospective members are familiar with Edward de Bono's work through one of his books which may be obtained from a library or from articles available on the internet (there are over 4 million references to Edward de Bono on the Internet!).

The 'Edward de Bono Creative Team ^TM' (the Team) is directed and controlled by Edward de Bono. It is his Team that he invites you to join. Edward de Bono is not responsible in any manner for any views or opinions expressed by members of the Team. There is no obligation to publish the views and opinions of any member of the Team.

It is Edward de Bono's ambition that the Team will make positive and creative contributions to the benefit of mankind. The integrity of the Team is paramount and for this reason extreme care has to be taken to ensure that the Team should not attract any litigious confrontations that could wreck this ambition and the benefits that will be derived by individual members and the world at large. For this reason the rights of members of the Team may appear to be minimal although the intention to provide members with benefits is real. The realisation of these intentions will evolve as the Team grows and the quality, quantity and the diverse views of the members becomes known. For example it is known that members will want the facility to have their ideas and solutions assessed ,and it is the intention to provide this facility, but at what levels and what would be an acceptable cost?

For very practical reasons it must not be assumed that communication between a member and the Edward de Bono Creative Team ^TM will be answered but any communication using the forms on this site should be acknowledged provided the e-mail address has been correctly given. This is not to say that communications will not receive due attention. The relative sophistication of the Internet and the computer systems 'attached' to it allows for many exciting possibilities.

Some Benefits of Membership of the Edward de Bono Creative Team^TM
Perhaps listing the benefits from belonging to a powerful creative force and the influence that it can have on people's lives is almost frivolous. Some benefits will apply to one person and not to another. Some members will derive benefits that had never been predicted. The same benefit may affect people in different ways. An attempt is made to list some potential benefits. It can be almost guaranteed that all benefits will be positive.
