11. ► Ensures the greatest possible candor and productivity
during discovery meetings
► With anonymity, participants are far more likely to express honest
attitudes and opinions.
► Participants feel energized by being able to express their honest
opinions and feel listened to and included.
► Participants ‘buy-in’ and increase commitment to agreed change.
► Allows you to get more done in less time
► Because responses are submitted simultaneously, more
ideas/opinions can be captured in a given period of time.
MeetingSphere optimizes the discovery process.
