The OptionFinder Audience Response System

By OptionFinder Europe, , OptionFinder

The ultimate consultant's toolbox, OptionFinder contains a variety of group audience polling and analysis capabilities that dramatically improve the effectiveness, speed, and value of your consulting processes.


Groups participate by responding to questions with OptionFinder wireless keypads.

Requiring little more than a laptop, projector, presentation screen, and the OptionFinder audience response system, you can turn any client meeting or workshop into a focused, energized session where decisions are quickly made, resources are rapidly allocated and team collaboration is dramatically increased.


With OptionFinder, groups can brainstorm lists of items that will later be evaluated or 'voted' on.


Audience polling results for a single question evaluated against a 1-5 scale of importance

Designed by facilitators for facilitators, OptionFinder is a portable, highly flexible group response system that combines decision support software and wireless audience response keypads.

This technology helps groups explore complex ideas as they use keypads to anonymously rank options, issues, and ideas. As questions or lists of items are presented to participants, they �vote�, expressing their opinion by using the audience response systems as their voice. Polling results are immediately displayed so that the alignment or the disparity within the group can be explored.

Highly affordable, OptionFinder is now available with OptionFinder IR wireless keypads. These reliable, infrared handsets are price-optimized for small- to medium-sized groups of up to 80 people (larger capacity systems are also available).

OptionFinder IR handsets are also size-optimized for convenient packing and travel. They even have two-way vote verification, so you�ll know your data audit trail is always secure.


Items can be polled against one or more scales (criterions) to generate an X-Y analysis. In this one, the importance of each item is compared against the feasibility of each item.

OptionFinder provides three substantial benefits as it helps consulting professionals:

  • Improve Consulting Processes
  • Accelerate Group Decision Making
  • Provide Added Value to Clients

Improve Consulting Processes

You can integrate your existing diagnostic exercises or assessment tools into OptionFinder, where participants can respond to questions and immediately discuss the results after each poll.

This real-time display of anonymous polling results eliminates group politics and creates powerful discussion dynamics that allow you to unearth information

not likely be shared in a standard survey.

Accelerate Group Decision Making

Quickly rate, rank, and prioritize ideas, options, and resources � all of which can be brainstormed �on-the-fly" during your client session. OptionFinder�s List Processing Tool saves time by making it easy for groups to evaluate large lists of items in a matter of minutes.

For example, groups can rate each item in a 10-item list against a 1-5 scale of importance (where 1 is equal to no importance and 5 is equal to high importance).

Participants use an audience response system to assign a rank to each item. Once the audience voting is complete, a results graph is displayed showing how the items scored from highest to lowest.

The results clearly illustrate to your client the items that are considered most important and least important. In addition, you can evaluate this same list against a second criterion (e.g., a 1-5 scale of feasibility) for X-Y analysis (see above images).

OptionFinder�s Groups Tool gives you the ability to segment polling results by demographic subcategories (i.e., department, gender, age, etc.) so you can explore important similarities and differences between groups (see images below).
