Brainstorming software helps develop fresh ideas, but what about communicating those new ideas to others? Create a presentation from those new ideas, using a separate program? What if it was possible to skip that step, and make a presentation directly from the same program? ThoughtOffice creativity software solves the problem neatly, allowing users to create and present with one integrated idea-development platform.
Portland, OR, February 23, 2009 — Brainstorming software has helped many creative people to develop fresh, new ideas, but it may not address the problem of communicating those new ideas to others. Quite often, users have to import all their new ideas into a separate program, and spend even more time creating a presentation. But what if it was possible to skip that step, and present a new ad campaign or business plan using the same software that helped create them? ThoughtOffice brainstorming and innovation software solves the problem with one integrated idea-development platform. Using a dynamic word association index and a world-class image bank, the program helps beginners and professionals assemble effective, intelligent presentations in minutes.
“We’ve developed hundreds of Power Point presentations, and we’ve gotten used to burning the midnight oil to get every detail right, and create a worthwhile image. But we also knew there had to be a better way, a faster, more intelligent path to creating these things,” says Mark Alan Effinger, CEO of ThoughtOffice.com, developers of the ThoughtOffice Innovation Suite. “Thanks to the always-on nature of the Internet and some phenomenal work on the part of our developers, we’ve built a presentation platform that digs deeply into some very intelligent resources. The results are appealing presentations with rich language, inherent intelligence and beautiful, meaningful images that assemble quickly and naturally as the user brainstorms. The feedback from our users indicates that they’ve never felt more empowered, that their presentations now come together with more speed and elegance.”
The ThoughtOffice Brainstorming and Presentation program ( http://www.thoughtoffice.com/?page_id=231 ) is a Mac OS X and Windows XP / Vista application accessing online and offline databases:
1) A 8,207,000-entry associational reference, adding as many as 10,000 new references each week. Organized by words, definitions, hypernyms, quotations, synonyms and Coordinate terms, the IdeaBrowser associative search engine is a rich source of words, associations, and phrases for brainstorming.
2) A 3,000,000 image (and growing) database of keyword-tagged images, which can be instantly added to the presentation. The diversity of the images is global, and these visual cues have been proven effective for enhancing the brainstorming process.
3) An Internet keyword-search database, updated daily, accessing the most commonly-searched terms related to the content of your presentation.
4) 16 eXpertTopics Plugin Modules, developed by over 200 PhDs, MBAs, and other industry leaders. The modules cover essential business, brainstorming and writing topics ( http://www.thoughtoffice.com/?page_id=4 ), helping to guide the user’s creative process with expert queries, prompts, web links and images.
“I’ve already prepared a report using the solutions module. It’s highly intuitive and easy to use. My first session was ‘quick and dirty’, yet the results were impressive,” says Meryl Steinberg, of Beanstalk Ideas. “Answering the questions provided me with order and context for an important meeting that I’ll be attending tomorrow. The meeting date came to me just today. Without ThoughtOffice, I don’t know how I would have been able to prepare for it on such short notice.”
The basic ThoughtOffice program is currently on sale for $97 with 2 integrated Modules. Prepackaged bundles are also available that address specific disciplines, such as Executive Coaching or Product Development. Additional modules can be added at any time, and cover such diverse subjects as Advertising, Creative Writing, Conflict Resolution, and Business Planning. A free 15-day demo version of the program is available from the web site at http://www.thoughtoffice.com/?page_id=8.
