The rise of Mindmapping as the most prominant visual business brainstorming technology has solved many problems in helping
to clarify ideas. But in the wake of this growth a challenge has developed: how to decipher mind maps once handed-off to team members. RichContent has solved this problem by organizing the thought process into linear visual storyboards. These storyboards, rich with associative thinking elements, images,
links and fonts make the idea hand-off much more elegant, increasing the creativity to productivity.
We are firm believers in the associative thinking process, and providing visuals
to help support idea generation comments Mark Alan Effinger, CEO of RichContent. The greatest challenge we'sve seen in corporations using mindmaps is that the visual display often lacks
the critical PROCESS that helps bring an idea to light for team members. It can be spaghetti code to those who were not present in the mind mapping session. The eXpertSystem-eXpertLingo
software suite tackles that head-on by ordering the graphical elements in such a way that anyone can follow each step in the process. Simple. Clean. Natural.
The eXpertSystem-eXpertLingo product line consists of three elements that support and accelerate the brainstorming process:
1) An eXpertSystem Idea Organizer that provides a palette and outlining solution
to arrange each entry in a Brainstorming Session.
2) 17 eXpertTopic Modules provide hundreds to thousands of systematic questions developed by
industry leaders. These questions stimulate the mind and help drill-down on problems and ideas. Advertising, Marketing, Conflict Resolution, Speech and Screen Writing, and a host of other critical business
issues are addresses in individual modules.
3) The eXpertLingo Associative Thinking program. This interface
provides 4.3 million words, phrases, hypernyms, definitions and word associations to trigger and help drive the creative process. In addition, the program also delivers over 600,000 stock
photo images to add visual elements to each Brainstorming Session entry. JPEG images can also be imported from the users hard drive.
The three elements comprise a complete brainstorming and problem solving solutions. By selecting questions, adding creative content and combining and organizing the results, the
eXpertSystem-eXpertLingo program promises to take complex, many-threaded ideas and clarify them in easy to understand, organized processes.
We'sve been teaching and creating brainstorming, creativity and problem solving since 1983, starting with flashcards and then leveraging the processes with the classic IdeaFisher software
application says Eric Kinney, CTO for RichContent. We have seen our clients, from startups and sole practitioners to the Fortune 5000, gain immediate results from our programs combination
of wildly creative associative thinking processes combined with the visual outlining and presentation process. With version 8 about to be released, we believe we'sve created a true
partner to visual mindmap users.
The eXpertSystem-eXpertLingo software suite is available today from the
RichContent web site and through various resellers and affiliates. Starting at $99, the program can be custom designed to solve any combination of challenges by the user by adding
