The Idea Generator Plus
Brainstorm at 90 M.P.H.

Perhaps you're planning a new advertising campaign or trying to cut expenses...developing marketing plans or contemplating a career change. In fact, if there is any problem you need to solve, you need The Idea Generator, easy-to-use brainstorming software, which pushes you to examine a problem from new angles and points of view.
The Idea Generator boosts creative thinking and planning skills by dividing the problem solving process into three logical parts:

  • Problem Statement. Define the problem and related objectives to ensure each brainstorming session has a tight focus.
  • Idea Generation. Choose from seven thought-provoking techniques to create problem solving ideas, such as: Other Perspectives, Metaphors for the Situation and Reverse Your Goals.
  • Evaluation. Rank ideas vs. objectives, and consider long- and short-term costs and benefits of new ideas.
  • Print a Summary Report and list your new ideas, ranked for further consideration and analysis.  Or print the report to a text file and use a word processor to turn your ideas into marketing plans, new products or that best selling novel!
    The Idea Generator enhances the most powerful "expert system" ever devised -- your own mind!

    Enterprise Software to Spark Breakthrough Thinking

    IdeaBank provides an integrated, technology-enabled idea generation and management system that will enable your organization to dramatically increase the quality and quantity of innovative new product ideas generated by its workforce. This 24/7 innovation-sparking system makes the process of generating, developing, collecting, and evaluating new ideas much more dependable than current practice.

    We estimate that the introduction of our Idea Management system will significantly increase the number of new ideas generated, developed, and implemented throughout your organization. Although only a small number of ideas will ever become big revenue producers, by creating a place for ideas to be developed and collected, the sheer number of new product introductions deposited will soon soar into the hundreds. This will give senior leadership a much greater chance of finding those few that will succeed.
