PO: Edward De Bono. It's a method of creative thinking where no ideas are rejected as "wrong" during the process of creating solutions. Wrong ideas can lead to great solutions if contemplated further. PO is the use of the controlled absurd, as a pathway between problem and solution. One can use anything absurd. For example a random word.

Example:
How to design a windproof fence?

PO: Goldfish

What the hell have goldfish got to do with fences? his is absurd.

Ideas generated - fences with wooder scales. Good for letting wind through if hinged

Se also De Bono's discussion wheelbarrow which can turn corners better. With skilled practice this is a very powerful tool.
