ThoughtOffice Pro is a direct upgrade from IdeaFisher Pro brainstorming & creativity software. Based on the classic IdeaFisher method of Associative Thinking, ThoughtOffice Pro combines powerful tools to help you take any problem or idea and turn it into an effective, creative solution. Associative Thinking (or Lateral Thinking) is the process of following links between ideas by connecting words, phrases, concepts, & experiences. ThoughtOffice Pro uses this process to trigger associations from ideas & knowledge already stored in your brain. It also builds new associations, prompted by open-ended expert questions, plus powerful associative searches using the built-in idea-search engine. Starting with expert-level query modules created with CEOs, MBAs, & industry leaders to solve problems in six different business & communication-related fields, you will drill down on & greatly expand on a issue or task creatively & expertly. Next, use the integrated idea search engine to rapidly and dramatically expand your associative thinking process. The IdeaBrowser search engine helps you quickly & easily find new associations in the form of images, definitions, quotes, word associations, synonyms, & more, adding creative & richly evocative content to your session. ThoughtOffice also gives you a place to organize it all, merging your research, comments & answers into a Brainstorming Session to share with clients or co-workers. Sessions are presented with the built-in Slideshow viewer, printed in 4 different formats, exported as HTML or a text file, or converted into a PDF file. And the Session Document carries with it your ID, logo and © notice. There's no question where an idea originated in a ThoughtOffice Session. And ThoughtOffice is 100% guaranteed for 1 year. We'll personally help you use ThoughtOffice to create lots of great new ideas; or we'll update, upgrade, coach or refund to your complete satisfaction. ThoughtOffice is available for Windows XP/Vista & Mac OS X.
