About Us

Box Free Thinking (BFT) was developed beginning in 2003 as a reference tool for individuals, groups, or businesses needing to think outside of ordinary solutions - outside the box - in order to solve problems in their organizations or communities.  BFT has observed a lack of resources for creative analysis, problem-solving and information.

 

"There is no substitute for being one of the most well prepared in a meeting... To take pride in knowing more than the others in a room." - Ben Barnes

BFT initially created Box Free Thinking.org as a quick reference tool for both people and organizations.  Over time, BFT's reputation quickly led to the addition of services and the creation of Box Free Thinking.com to assist the community in its effort to implement the future, analyze the past, and research the present.  Here are some of our clients and what they have to say about working with us.
