Costly to implement
Could be a waste of time
Not supported
Too many ideas vs action
Not tested or risky
Causes confusion
Requires infrastructure
Takes time
Opposition hot spot
Transitioning parties
Why have we not done this before?
Many create more trust in
governments?
How many people would cross the
floor?
Would there even need to be a floor?
Could create a bi-partisan department
How would we ensure continuity?
How will other kinds of thinking and
tools be included?
What criteria would be required to fulfil
the role?
Could include children and generational
differences in the department?
Will it work?
How will it be measured?

PANEL DISCUSSION
● Why a Palace of New Thinking?
○ There are high levels of concentrated authority, control and judgement. This needs to be challenged to create a better level of control and more objective judgements.
○ Language, while useful is also limiting.
○ Legitimize the generation of ideas
○ Doesn’t need a superhuman person
○ Need to
■ Diffuse Power
■ No one person or body can have all the answers
■ Change the expectations of governance structures
17 17@ de Bono Thinking Systems - 2018 | All rights reserved 17
PANEL DISCUSSION
● What would be the value of Ministry or Ministry of Thinking?
○ Creates the ability to focus and pay attention to thinking and also to
specific problems and challenges
○ White it could start out small, overall it could have a positive impact on
culture
○ Creates the space for new ideas and ways forward
○ Ensures that thinking is treated seriously, without which we focus on
standard situations and responses
○ Would provide an opportunity to educate other groups and ministries in
thinking – potentially improving education
18 18@ de Bono Thinking Systems - 2018 | All rights reserved 18
PANEL DISCUSSION
● Who would be the right person to run a Ministry of Thinking?
○ Someone who already had the skills and knowledge of the subject
○ Preferably a successful entrepreneur as they have the perseverance to
see things through, even when faced with challenges and difficulties
■ The main ingredient would he the ability to THINK
○ Opportunity to dilute the power that individuals tend to have in
government bodies, and to transfer some of this power to the people of
a country or region
19 19@ de Bono Thinking Systems - 2018 | All rights reserved 19
PANEL DISCUSSION
● How would a Minister of Thinking be different?
○ Politicians typically focus on short-term goals and objectives. They are
focused on today. There is a tendency to focus on elections and
winning votes.
○ A Minister of Thinking would focus on long-term solutions, and the
thinking of tomorrow, and could even be assigned budget that is
exclusively allocated to long-term strategies and programmes. Much
like a permanent secretary, a role that appears to have fallen away,
these Minister (Ministry) would be required to focus on the long-term,
not the election.
