Who takes the Systematic Idea Generation Creative Thinking 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.
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.

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.
