  Systematic Idea Generation

Wow, it really is Rocket Science!

If you had to come up with a 100 new ideas in 30 minutes could you do it? Do you have the proper tools? Have you ever been taught a step-by-step method to generate new ideas? Have you ever even heard of such a thing?

Mark L. Fox, the Chief Engineer for the Space Shuttle Program, is now training down-to-earth people how to come up with revolutionary ideas, even if they're not creative. Yes, attendees of this course are going to be taught techniques for analytical decision-making and creative-thought by a real rocket scientist.

Who takes this course? So far, professors from CalTech, (home of 30 Nobel Prize winners,) engineers from NASA, researchers from Los Alamos National Labs (birthplace of nuclear energy,) Generals from the Pentagon, and a number of America's brightest business executives.

The method is called Systematic Idea Generation (SIG.) But you could just as easily describe it as "Creative Thinking for Normal People." Most of us have lost 95% of the creativity we had when we were younger. Want to get it back?

SIG workshop attendees are always given a brief survey at the end of the the class. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being "the best training they've ever ever had" SIG consistently averages 8.5-9.0

Systematic Idea Generation is an exciting way to learn how to think creatively. The program consolidates the most effective thinking tools available from a wide range of scientific sources. The workshop consists of several practical exercises that you can apply immediately to your current problems and issues. You will leave with new answers to old problems. Answers that will work.

This is not a canned presentation. Mark Fox interviews a few class attendees prior to each workshop to gain insight into a few of their most pressing problems. Mark then applies his SIG methodology to these specific issues to show how the process works on real-life problems.

The SIG training will help you:

  • Increase meeting effectiveness
  • Elevate morale
  • Shorten production timelines
  • Reduce costs
  • Improve customer service
  • Create better project plans
  • Develop better proposals
  • Manage your home life
  • Plan your vacation

    Seriously. Learn the SIG Methodology and the tools will work just as well in your home as they do in your business.

    Mark L. Fox is a leading authority on practical creative thinking techniques for business, with a degree in Chemical Engineering and an MBA. Mark has held top management positions in Rocket Science, Aircraft Hydraulics, Engineering Services, Customer Service, Software and e-Business. He has held positions ranging from Management and Operations to Sales and Marketing to Research and Development.

    Some of Mark's unique accomplishments include receiving NASA's highest recognition of "Launch Honoree" at the age of 23, increasing e-business sales by 600 percent in one year, and being the youngest person ever promoted to the position of Chief Engineer on the Space Shuttle program (at the age of 31.) Mark was also the Chairman of the Orbital Debris committee and an eight-time collegiate All American in Marksmanship. Mark also designed and built a 10,000-pound rocket, and flies his own experimental airplane as well as hot air balloons.

    Mark's interest in creative thinking began in the early days of his career when practical, creative-thought training was simply not to be found. So Mark developed his own program. And it really works.
