Brainstorming is taxing on… well, the brain. But brainstorming software from ThoughtOffice Corporation uses Associative Thinking to save time and effort, releasing your best ideas. Accessing more than 8,185,000 words and phrases and over 3,000,000 images to spur the mind to more creative innovations, this Mac OS X and Windows XP / Vista application unifies 4 powerful functions into one user-friendly interface.
Portland, OR December 03, 2008 — What’s at the core of effective brainstorming – the creation of new and innovative ideas? ThoughtOffice Corporation believes that the generation of great ideas requires not just images and words… but RELEVANT words and images are ultimately the key to real innovation. ThoughtOffice brainstorming software makes relevancy a reality with interactive Internet databases of words, phrases, synonyms, keywords and images that are fast and easy to access, assemble into presentations and share with others. The Macintosh OS X and Windows XP / Vista program provides expert brainstorming guidance, and is available for less than $100.
“We’ve always felt that brainstorming – really innovative thinking – was more than random thoughts with the occasional ‘a-HA!’ moment. We are absolutely convinced it’s about following ‘threads’ of ideas, images and words to more logical conclusions,” says Mark Alan Effinger, CEO of ThoughtOffice Corporation, makers of ThoughtOffice innovation software. “Great ideas, the kinds that become killer products and valuable additions to our lives, don’t have to be haphazard. You can create new ideas at will through the process of ‘Power-Brainstorming’ – using questions posed by professionals, plus words and phrases expanded and connected by threads of association, and related imagery that triggers expanded thought. Combined, you have everything but taste and touch to stimulate your mind to create amazing innovations.”
The roots of ThoughtOffice innovation software are found in the brainstorming tools of Tony Buzan, inventor of the visual MindMap (made popular by companies like Inspiration Software and MindManager); and associative thinking tools such as IdeaFisher software ( http://www.ideafisher.com ) and Gerald Haman’s KnowBrainer tool from SolutionPeople.
“We believe that we can quickly ‘change the mind’ of anyone using our programs,” says David Lockman, ThoughtOffice Product Specialist. “And if you change the mind enough times, it becomes elastic, constantly seeking new and innovative solutions to virtually everything, whether a process or a product. We see it daily in our work with these programs… and realize how vitally important it is in life to be flexible, creative, always seeking solutions.”
