A instant Brainstorming process in a box,
By
This review is from: Thinkpak: A Brainstorming Card Deck (Cards)
These cards are a distillation of the SCAMPER brainstorming technique; each card contains a `question' or a thought to be applied during brainstorming activities. The cards are nearly a word for word breakdown of the SCAMPER method as described in the Thinkertoys book. The pack comes with a small booklet which describes various way of using the cards and in addition it contains a number of cards detailing how to assess the results of the brainstorming.
If you are short of time and want an `instant' brainstorming process then these cards are very good. If you have more time buy the thinkertoys book and develop your own brainstorming approach; the book is packed with other methods and techniques. I have given these cards 3 stars as there is nothing really new over the book and so aren't the best value for money.

Style over content,
By burntfacedjake "burntfacedjake" (A small island) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Thinkpak: A Brainstorming Card Deck (Cards)
Attractively packaged and useful to get the ball rolling when generating ideas. The cards are a version of an exercise in Thinkertoys by the same author. The cards are portable and useful to carry around but the book has more to offer

Pretty Good for What They Are,
By C. R. Downing "Chris Downing" (Chippenham, Wilts England) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Thinkpak: A Brainstorming Card Deck (Cards)
This is just a pack of cards with ideas on them. Now that might seem pretty easy to create your own - but these do cover the ground without you always thinking, "I wonder if there's something I've missed". The big thing with using a tool like this is you need to remember that you still have to do the work and the thinking - it's not a short cut - it's a tool. So, as far as being a tool and not an answer, it's great and there's not much ele out there at this sort of price. For a tenner what have you got to lose? It's not my only tool - but it's been with me for about ten years now and always handy to use when I need it.
