Dan Pontefract, chief envisioner at Telus and adjunct professor at UVic, believes speed has become a weapon against thoughtfulness. His latest book, Open to Think: Slow Down, Think Creatively, and Make Better Decisions, explores how to balance creative, critical and applied thinking. Pontefract cites diverse experts and examples, from Warren Buffett to how Chuck Noland, the character played by Tom Hanks in the 2000 film Cast Away, thought his way off the desert island. Each chapter ends with tips or questions for individuals and organizations, and there are 10 essential guidelines for open thinking to take away at the end.
