Website
CreativeTools is a new website providing tools to help you come up with new ideas, whether it is for business, a topic for your book, theme for a painting and much more.
Over 20 free tools are available based on the most popular creative-thinking techniques used worldwide by businesses, and the ability for users to share their ideas publicly for collaboration or make the more secretive ideas private.
The difference between this website and the many other idea management websites on the internet is that this website focuses on providing tools that help individuals come up with ideas by following certain proven processes, whilst other websites have basic methods for creating ideas and focus primarily on sharing and voting on ideas.
The majority of the tools are based on the techniques in the bestselling book on creative-thinking techniques, Thinkertoys by Michael Michalko, with organisations such as the CIA, NASA and McDonalds using the techniques for their idea management and innovation processes. Some of the tools provided on the website include SCAMPER (famous list of 9 techniques under one main technique), BruteThink (associating random words with existing problems) and Pheonix (CIA checklist of questions) to help you come up with new ideas to existing problems or challenges.
