Newport Beach, CA (PRWEB) June 27, 2003 -- Mark Alan Effinger, co-founder of ExitPath and RichContent, today launches the ThoughtOffice Software and Templates. The new products are specifically designed to support Startups and MBAs by applying 16 separate and extremely focused question and answer software modules with thousands of combined questions, tied to a 6,800,000+ word and phrase reference system. The program has proven to reach into individual's long-term memory, helping solve problems faster and more naturally.

"In the 19 years I've been developing these software solutions, we've invested well over 90 man-years in developing the types of questions that truly tap into memories and open the mind to clearer thinking. With expert input from rocket scientists to writers and business leaders, we feel we've truly made significant progress in the areas of creativity as it applies to business and future business leaders…" Says Mark Effinger, CEO of ThoughtOffice Corporation, makers of ThoughtOffice™, "This technology and very straightforward approach is proving exceptionally valuable to the new breed of businesspeople who are expected to have a working knowledge of many different disciplines".

The ThoughtOffice Program works by asking the businessperson hundreds of questions regarding various topics of business, life and related issues (the complete program has 17 available eXpertTopic Modules, from marketing to Problem Solving, Brainstorming and Private Investigation, each with sets of 300 to 2,000+ specific queries). By establishing an intelligent framework of questions prior to addressing the subject in question, CEOs, MBAs and the like are able to drill-down into the issues faster, and spend more time on solutions and the real process of learning.

"The other half of the ThoughtOffice program is where you develop the answers" says David Lockman, ThoughtOffice Product Specialist. "The more than 6,800,000 words in the Associative Word and Phrase engine truly probe deeply into the mind to resolve issues, and develop extremely creative responses. 3M, Xerox, General Motors, Chiat/Day, Apple Computer and IBM all use our program to drive through their creative challenges. Every Ivy League university has purchased the product as well,and we've received truly enlightening reports of CEOs and Graduate Students learning the process of creativity better and faster than ever before. If it works for them, then it surely can help others in need of creative solutions to accelerate and better understand the process of thinking, of creating."

The product also contains a number of templates for helping to shorten the development of certain cycles in product development. Developed in concert with Kristine Gunn, an established southern California business and coaching consultancy, the complete packages run from $125 to $549.
