The OptionFinder System is the polling and voting tool that adds interactivity to meetings. It is a combination of wireless numeric keypads and interactive software that stimulates group focus, trust, participation and energy. It is an electronic polling system that can be used with groups ranging in size from 2 to 2,600 people.

Specific Benefits

OptionFinder can be used to brainstorm, provide opinions and perceptions, collect information, organize ideas, vote, evaluate concepts, prioritize items, and much more.

• Anonymity – The keypads allow participants to respond anonymously, thereby encouraging more honest and accurate responses.
• Faster Productivity – Users of OptionFinder report achieving a 20 to 40 percent productivity gain.
• Improved Understanding – OptionFinder instantly provides numbers and degree on a given question.
• Democracy of Input – Feedback is received from all participants, not just the facilitator or the participant who has the most ‘power’. Because decisions are perceived as fair and legitimate, more participants will support the outcome.
• Public Display Screen – As the results flash on the screen, participants automatically are less emotional about the topics and have a greater sense of their team and how they fit into it.

How the System Works

With the OptionFinder software, the facilitator or meeting leader poses questions or statements onto a large screen along with a set of response choices. The participants simply press the keypad number that correlates with their response choice. The software takes the responses and instantly produces a graph of the results. The graph is then projected for everyone to see.
