Roger von Oech
- I'm an author, inventor, and consultant. I started my company, Creative Think, in 1977 to stimulate creativity in business. I'm probably best known as the author of A Whack on the Side of the Head and the Creative Whack Pack, and, most recently, as the creator of the Ball of Whacks®, X-Ball®, and the Creative Whack Pack® iPhone App[More]
