Brainstorming in a Web2.0 World -- Instant Creativity, Genius Results With ThoughtOffice Innovation Software

Portland, OR (PRWEB) September 5, 2006 -- Associative Brainstorming has long been a key methodology for creative professionals. IdeaBrowser, which is the lateral-thinking interface for the ThoughtOffice suite of creativity software programs, extends and expands the brainstorming concept far beyond the conference table. The software makes it possible for consultants, creative professionals and businesses innovators to develop dialogue that generates powerful new ideas -- alone or as part of a group. The IdeaBrowser provides convenient access to key internet resources and the opportunity to initiate a virtual connection with creative partners. Users of the software record their brainstorming sessions and iterate them as necessary.

Idea-generator: With the ThoughtOffice brainstorming software suite, ideas can be captured before they fade way, recalled and enhanced at will. This newly updated software gives users a simple, disciplined and practically fail-safe creative process users can manage with a few mouse clicks.

Meetings often take long too set up and can lack focus if the chemistry isn't right. With creativity software, the ThoughtOffice suite, creative professionals can work alone or in groups that may include people around the planet -- from Hong Kong to Seattle, from Amsterdam to Atlanta. In today's highly completive business environment, this edge can make the difference between success and failure. Survival in business often depends on acting quickly and having great ideas.
