Brainstorm #1 - Frugal Consultant

     This tool generates a random noun, coupled with
     a random question-like phrase. Makes it sound like a
     renowned but odd consultant "insight."

     But we're cheap, so the random combinations may not
     have the correct grammer. Just pretend our consultant
     is using English as a fourth or fifth language.

     

     Using Our Frugal Consultant

     1) Type a short statement of the problem.

      (Like "New Product Feature" or "Taking Vacation")

     2) Click on the "Frugal Consultant" button.

     3) Apply the NOUN to your problem.

      (Connections, Associations, etc.)

     4) Write your connections down, Mind Map, doodle

     5) Keep with the NOUN for 5 or 10 minutes

     Clicking on the "Frugal Consultant," again, will
     yield a new statement & noun.

     

     Und Zo, Vhat's your problem?
     

     

     
     

     Roughly based on Michael Michalko's =Brutethink=
     described in Thinkertoys, pages 159-171.

     

     There isn't any sophistication here. We just have a
     large collection of nouns. Like selecting a word from the dictionary
     at random, there are possible connections and features associated with
     the word/noun that might might bring something to mind you hadn't
     considered.

     In normal circumstances you might not ask yourself "How can I stretch
     and support my new product offering?" But that might be triggered by the
     Frugal Consultant's SUSPENDERS noun.
