PORTLAND, OR, January 16, 2011 (Press-News.org) Business leaders require creative thinking and problem solving skills in real-time. An Internet-enhanced software application, ThoughtOffice provides powerful questions derived from millions of hours of process development by successful business leaders. Each software bundle includes a selection of "Expert Topic Brainstorming Modules", each one filled with hundreds of questions that become the catalyst for new ideas and solutions.
"ThoughtOffice was designed with one purpose in mind: creatively solve problems faster and easier than anything before," says Mark Alan Effinger, Founder and Chief Evangelist for ThoughtOffice. "Our clients have opened our eyes to how important speed is to the creative process. It can mean millions in savings, billions in market opportunities. This version of ThoughtOffice was developed to provide real-time results."
Several ThoughtOffice software bundles are available, designed for markets such as: CEOs, executive coaches, creative writers, public speakers, inventors, and educators. All software suites are designed to help enhance the creative thinking process by using a series of brainstorming questions ( http://www.thoughtrod.com/plugin-modules/ ) which trigger the user to view ideas and problems from multiple perspectives. With hundreds of questions per module, making connections between ideas, or linking to new possibilities, is both easier and faster. This is made possible because the contents of each module are organized the way a true expert thinks. Fast, intuitive and deep.
"Asking just the right question has the power to create a paradigm shift in our own thinking," says Samantha Hall, ThoughtOffice Product Specialist. "A question can prompt us to view a problem or idea in a new light, from new perspective or vantage point that we may not have seen before. Then suddenly, we reach a moment of clear understanding! We see new doors that we didn't know were there before. A new path. A new angle."
Once a series of questions is selected from the module, they are added to the main interface and become the foundation for the brainstorming Session document. ( http://www.thoughtrod.com/software-bundles/ ) When a brainstorming session is complete, the document can be exported in several layouts and formats, including storyboard, HTML, or PDF, allowing the results to be shared with co-workers or clients. Session documents can also be branded and even password protected for an additional layer of protection when sharing ideas with others.
The program is available for both Macintosh OS X and Windows XP / Vista / 7. It features a collection of plugin modules that provide professional guidance in 16 areas of expertise ( http://www.thoughtrod.com/plugin-modules/ ). ThoughtOffice bundles are priced from $97 to $497 and are available online at http://www.ThoughtRod.com and from the ThoughtOffice Amazon store at http://amzn.to/ThoughtOfficeStore .
