Advantages of Digital Moderation

Superior Efficiency

Improve the efficiency of your events: All data which is entered during the meeting is processed digitally and can be presented online immediately. The whole workshop's process is more effective and more direct. This is archived through parallel input of contributions, a process that makes time-consuming writing and collecting of results unnecessary. Digital Moderation enhances the facilitator to present the collected data faster and in a better structured way. The time saved can be used for the actual reason for the workshop: finding solutions to problems.

Improved Participation

Parallel input of contributions by the participants and the immediate digital processing optimize the data-flow and communication, improving the participation of your participants. With Digital Moderation, participants perceive group processes as motivating, fast and effective. Results are developed and ranked by all participants, causing a high degree of identification, motivation, commitment, and team-spirit among the group. Even incommunicative people are motivated, since neither speaking in front of the group nor sticking paper-cards on flip-charts or boards is necessary.

Higher Quality

The motivating dynamics of Digital Moderation have a positive effect on the quality of meeting results. The corporate visualization of results and the better way to group problems support a stronger coordination of all participants' competences. The anonymous submissions reduce effects of nominal members: there is no way for participants to orient themselves on the contributions of other participants. Own estimations are not oriented on the estimations of others. Pressure by hierarchy and for conformity does not occur. This leads to straight and authentic results.

More Participants

Digital Moderation provides flexible scalability. You can organize and facilitate your events, from small workshops with 5 participants up to large meetings with 500 people. Information technology deals with the counting, evaluating, and processing of participants' contributions. All phases can happen in the plenum.

Better Overview

The consequent use of video projection and large screens eases the integration of digital media. Using computer fonts instead of hard to read hand writing improves readability of all ideas and helps structuring the contributions. Additionally, the meeting facilitator receives exact feedback from the software regarding the status of participants' activities, easily identifying and resolving any issues.

New Facilitation Methods

The use of digital information processing provides new ways for evaluation and presentation of results worked out at your meeting. IT support allows for
novel problem-solving techniques that are not possible with traditional paper-based workshop facilitation (e.g. economic efficiency calculation or cost-benefit analysis). Together with you, we develop tools that are tailored to your needs.

Processing of Results

Use the economic advantages by effectiveness and efficiency: All material and results are handed over in digital format at the end of the meeting and can be processed directly by the organizations IT systems, e.g. office applications or project management tools. Digital Moderation supports the necessary exchange formats such as Excel or XML. Adapted interfaces for your environment can be realized upon request.

Flexibility

Digital Moderation is flexibly configurable according to many facilitation styles and modularly extensible. We offer individual customizing and adaptation of the product according to your requirements.
