1. PO - An introduction Imagine a word that signalled the following: "If I accept your starting point and your values I would agree with you. There is nothing wrong with your logic but your starting perceptions are particular." That is quite a mouthful but one simple word could convey all that. Edward de Bono 16th November 2003

PO - cont’d PO to you my friend! In the land of PO, Greetings made, we live in peace. We share our food and share our hopes. Logic is the management of NO, But here we invite the use of PO. We can escape the established patterns of war, Merely by using the language of PO. NO is a rejection tool; PO is a restructuring tool. NO is a judgment device; PO is an anti-judgment device. No works within the framework of reason; PO works outside the box.

PO – cont’d PO  is an entry point word for peace language neither yes, nor no - it invites further conversation PO used well can make you laugh.
