REMOVING THE BARRIERS TO PARTICIPATION

You have probably been in a meeting and sensed that people are not expressing their opinions nor challenging others’. It is a natural human instinct, but it often gets in the way of progress. The Collaborate App harnesses ideas and opinions anonymously, allowing individuals the opportunity to contribute and constructively challenge each other, while collectively finding a way forward.

FLEXIBLE AND SOPHISTICATED VOTING

At the heart of the Collaborate App is a live voting engine, which supports different voting styles, including quizzes to sophisticated multi-criteria voting. Our team works with you to define what vote style is best for you.

MAXIMUM PARTICIPATION

Collaborate events share sensitive data and ideas and it is imperative that participants can participate with no hassle and glitch-free. We provide everything to support this requirement; from iPads issued to each participant or team, a dedicated app server and Wi-Fi network which requires no internet or venue Wi-Fi and an expert team on-site to advise, manage the interactive activities and main screen feedback and upload content.

SUPPORTING RAPID DECISION-MAKING

We have built the Collaborate App to support a number of different group collaboration techniques which facilitators and consultants are used to using. These include hackathon, world café, open space and structured problem-solving.

RAPID RESULTS

All ideas and results are available immediately at the end of each day in a Word or Excel report. We can provide additional analysis on workshop outputs upon request.

VALUE-ADDED FEATURES

In addition to the collaboration tools at the heart of the platform, the Collaborate App facilitates networking through participant profiles and messaging, supports learning through slide sharing with note-taking and supports the event organiser through sharing meeting content, personalised agendas and in-app alerts.

ADVANCED DELEGATE AND PERMISSION GROUPING

Collaborate allows you to assign certain permissions to groups of delegates. Grant access to relevant content or create personalised agendas for specific groups.

FREE-TEXT CAPTURE

The Collaborate platform manages the collection and sharing of free-text ideas in a unique way. Participants’ ideas can be anonymous, attributed or grouped and ideas can be shown on the main meeting screen unedited, or approved. We can control what participants can see on their iPads: either their own ideas, their table’s or team’s ideas or the whole group’s ideas sorted either by newest, or most liked ideas first.

SECURE & RELIABLE

Collaborate typically operates on our own secure, self-sufficient, closed, Wi-Fi network. This means that the ideas and responses submitted and shared through the iPads never leave the meeting room.
