The OptionFinder audience response system feature sets have long been the standard for decision-making, risk assessment and consensus-building within interactive meetings.
OptionFinder is an audience response system software that provides a number of key polling and meeting support tools, used to build meeting agendas:
- List Processing facilitates the evaluation or prioritization of any type of list. Criteria can be rated on a scale or prioritized through forced-choice paired comparisons. An unlimited number of criteria can be used to assess the elements in the list.
- Question exercises provide flexibility in the way that questions are posed to the participants. Two specialized forms of questions permit On-the-Fly Question creation in the meeting.
- Grouping allows you to categorize meeting participants into an unlimited number of demographic groups, permitting you to slice the data and see how different groups align. For instance, you can review how each department voted on a new strategic planning initiative.
