Abstract: The papers collected here were presented at The Third International Conference on Creative Thinking which was held at the University of Malta in July 1997. This was organized by The Edward de Bono Programme which was set up in collaboration with Professor Edward de Bono at the University of Malta in October 1992. The papers were authored by experts in the field of creativity and include Edward de Bono, Igor Byttebier, Helga Ellul, Roger Ellul-Micallef, Delores Gallo, Louie; Grech, Ron Jones, Susan Mackie, Kay Stables and William F. Stonier. The papers are evidence of the continued debate on the subject of creative thinking, a subject that can be approached from diverse perspectives. The authors come from different backgrounds which include business management, education, information technology, human resources development, technology and design, information systems and architecture. The diversity of approaches reflects the main theme of the conference, Towards Broader Horizons. The main point of convergence amongst the different authors is the importance of the human element in creative thinking as well as the important role which context (or environment) plays in the creative process. In a fast changing world, creativity is definitely an asset which few people can live without. It is creativity which helps individuals and organizations to cope with increased competition. Creativity in practice is the driving force behind the development of people with flexible mindframes who can cope with the accelerating rate of change in today's global society.
