We are pleased to announce our Lateral mobile app, available for Android and iOS, to help you rediscover and empower your unlimited capacity to create and innovate. Our purpose is to make each person aware of their incredible creative genius and thus contribute to the reduction of the skills gap required for employability in the current decade.

The Lateral app has been specially created so that, through innovative games and content, you can discover how you think when faced with creative exercises. It will make you aware of the skills that set you apart from the community and your thinking strategies to create, transform or connect great ideas. It is a unique journey of self-discovery that will also be enriched by the interaction of other players.

We emphasize these five types of thinking because they are generators of exponential, transformational and inspirational ideas. Here we explain the usefulness of each of them:

• Divergent Thinking: allows you to generate many ideas to find more than one possibility of question or solution to a problem.

• Lateral Thinking: takes you through unconventional mental routes when solving a problem, which leads you to find an original and effective solution.

• Flexible Thinking: makes you resist the premature closure of an idea. With it, you don't find it difficult to start from scratch or make adjustments to the initial idea. It helps you to have a receptive mind to other ideas and changes.

• Expressive Thinking: helps you to translate your idea as faithfully as possible to the mind of another thinker.

• Critical Thinking: Allows you to make a thoughtful and timely analysis of each situation, so that you distinguish between what is reliable or relevant and what is doubtful or irrelevant.

In addition to discovering unconventional ways of thinking, you will gain the following:

• You will increase your self-knowledge at the level of the types of thinking and human abilities that distinguish you. You will have a better emotional balance (Lateral Card: Divergent Thinking and Emotional State).

• You will discover more possibilities for solutions to everyday, professional, old or new problems.

• It will improve your employability for the future since the skills and types of thinking we promote are part of the new set of skills that are urgently needed for the jobs to be created in the present decade (World Economic Forum: The Future of Jobs Report).

• You will be better able to adapt to unfamiliar and highly uncertain environments. (Lateral World: The Thinking... ¿Hast It Always Been The Same?).
