StickySorter

Well, once again I ran across a cool little application that I think has some pretty cool potential. The app is from Microsoft Office Labs and it is called 'StickySorter'. Although I don't do this a lot, I do have times when I need to hold a brainstorming session for some larger groups. Typically, I have what I call a 'Post-it Party', the real name for the technique is called the 'Nominal Group Technique'. Using this technique, everyone in the meeting has a little stack of Post-it notes that they write down their ideas on. Once they have a few written down, everyone takes turns bringing them up to the front and reading them (one at a time) and then posting them on the appropriate 'theme' on the board. If there isn't a theme that matches their note, then they create a new theme. When the meeting is done, the organizer gets the daunting job of transcribing it all out.

What StickySorter does is all that only on your computer, with the ability to reorganize on the fly and then export it out when complete. Pretty plain and simple, but has the ability to bring in some real efficiency. Check it out if you ever have the job of leading a brainstorming session!
