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!
