Creative Insider Mark Alan Effinger Keeps the Fire Burning Bright: New ThoughtOffice Creativity Program Accelerates Solving Business and Life Problems Big and Small

Creativity Software - programs that help accelerate creative thinking and help make sense of big problems - gain a new player with the release of ThoughtOffice Innovation Suite

Vancouver, WA (PRWEB) December 14, 2004 -- Creativity software gains a new partner in ThoughtOffice. In addition to helping spur creative thought, the software also drives problem solving using over 6,800,000 words and phrases, and over 600,000 images.

"I've found that no written guide can open your mind like a lively dialogue can. Give me two hours with you, along with a copy of ThoughtOffice, and you can dramatically improve your world" states Mark Alan Effinger, CEO of the company.

Mr. Effinger developed the concept for ThoughtOffice while working with Marshall Fisher, the Godfather of Associative Thinking Software.

"Creativity is our last great hope for this world" states Mr. Effinger. "If we don't learn how to think beyond boxes, beyond borders, and start solving problems at an accelerated rate, on an international level, then I'm not the only one not long for this world. Hopefully my training can accelerate the pace of idea creation and problem solving enough that we can turn this world around… but on a different axis".

Creativity sessions typically range from an 30 minutes to two hours, and begin by solving a real problem that the client has to address. Once the problem or creative obstacle is clarified, Mark quickly shows how ThoughtOffice can expand the number of creative options and help solve the problem from many different angles.

ThoughtOffice owners and users can reach the company at www.thoughtoffice.com, and sign up for the classes by emailing their name and the best available contact time. Mr. Effinger will call the client to establish a mutual time to get to work.
