Why can't we just talk?

We supplement skilled facilitation with a unique methodology. Our approach combines clear Executive sponsorship, clearly defined deliverables, skilled facilitation, and in many cases interactive technology. How does this improve results?

Simultaneous Input

• Everyone in the room can be "talking" at the same time...and be understood
• Participants can add new detail and comments to each other's ideas without repetition
• Much more ground gets covered in far greater detail. It's common for teams to generate dozens of alternatives in only 5 or 10 minutes.

Anonymity

• No one knows who input what. Everyone has equal access to the process. Input is judged on merit; not who said it. Lions tend to become mice and mice become lions!
• Senior Executives and subject matter experts can participate without influencing the dialog
• "Happy talk" is significantly reduced. Participants can say what needs to be said.

Triggering & Enhanced Idea Generation

• Because each participant can see all public input, spontaneous triggering takes place. Unconventional ideas that might be risky in a face-to-face environment surface readily
  

Synergy & Focus

• Technology permits us to have a more focused dialog about the right things. It does not replace face-to-face discussion. Computers don't run the session. People do!

Automatic Capture of Transcripts

• All input is captured and saved as it is entered. We eliminate all-nighters transcribing flip-charts and typically deliver final reports within 72 hours of session completion!
