eXpertExpander: Take Your Thinking•Twist it Inside Out•View it From Every Angle

One of the best tools for evaluating plans for a new business, product or marketing campaign is to convene a panel of experts and have them take a hard look at what you hope to do. The savviest innovative companies do this before any big launch because the decisions they make are too important to be adopted without a thoroughgoing analysis.

Case in point: Launching a new product or service without doing a thorough review of the plans... That's what Ford did with the Edsel and it became not only a losing proposition but a joke that the company has never fully lived down. Even commissioning a huge body of research may not be enough.

Remember New Coke? Is there something more you can do? Something that will be more important than blowing your budget caps and hiring expensive help? Maybe you just need to expand your thinking.

With ThoughtOffice's eXpertExpander module you can broaden the scope of your thinking even when you're the only one in the room. The questions the program takes you through will quickly take your thinking far outside the box. It's like having a group of the top business innovators on the payroll - without having to pay them for their time (or even put them up or feed them). In fact, you will have access to the expertise and experience of some of the best contemporary business minds - because they wrote the questions we plugged into the Expander so that you could benefit whenever you need them. You won't have to hire an expensive consulting group to act as your hired gun Change Agent either. They will already be on board and at the ready in the form of a persistent software application. The eXpertExpander Module will put your ideas to the test and let you expand your thinking more quickly and efficiently than you ever imagined possible, especially at such a small cost.

The eXpertExpander comes loaded with over 2,000, queries, comments, and ideas. Harnessing the power of IdeaBrowser;, it extends the reach of EVERY module in our set. You can plumb the depths of any situation your company faces, and develop a solid, enhanced plan for dealing with it right from within your computer. The implementation of the results will still be up to you, but the expansion of your thinking will make it more certain that your solution will hold up under fire. It will be well worth putting in an hour or two with the eXpertExpander Module.

Some of our most frequent customers call it the most valuable add-on in the set. The eXpertExpander module will expose any weaknesses in your plans and strengthen all of the decisions you make.
