ABSTRACT
Toyota has used "analytic thinking" in some areas of its corporate activities, but at the same time they have employed a "hybrid thinking engine" in search of solutions always focusing on collecting information with a purpose. Toyota's production floor also employs analytical thinking tools in order to activate their hybrid thinking engine moving boldly forward into the world marketplace. Breakthrough Thinking's thinking habits view everything starting with its essence, and this approach has become an important tool. Breakthrough Thinking gives us a completely different thinking process, often referred to as a thinking circuit, which is uniquely different from conventional reductionism thinking. Traditional reductionist thinking focuses on learning the facts of the past and present. It analyzes previous and current activities. Breakthrough Thinking focuses on learning from the desired future, ultimate, and ideal state of an item. Breakthrough Thinking takes this into account by designing ever-changing "living solutions".
