Application Broad and demonstrable

Consult hundreds of people in one hour.

For moments when you need to hear widely what people think, and scattered responses are not enough. In an anonymous dialogue hundreds of people respond to each other and you see where they agree.

The occasion Consultation

You need to hear many people, without the conversation dissolving into scattered responses.

What you achieve
  • Broad reach in one live dialogue
  • Percentage in agreement per direction
  • Feedback that participants recognise

A consultation quickly becomes a form, a stand-alone survey or a meeting with the people who would turn up anyway. That way you miss the conversation between viewpoints.

Synthetron brings large groups into conversation at the same time. Participants respond to each other and vote on each other's messages. That way you see which direction gets support.

The approach 3 steps

From question to a next step people stand behind

We guide every step. What we mainly ask of you is substance: two meetings beforehand and a co-moderator during the session.

  1. Step 1

    Audience and question

    We determine who needs to be heard and which question calls for broad consultation.

  2. Step 2

    Live consultation

    Hundreds of participants can respond, build on each other and weigh at the same time.

  3. Step 3

    Feedback

    The outcome goes back to the participants: what was gathered and what happens with it.

Is this representative?

We report clearly who was reached and which groups took part. Because all participants vote anonymously on each other's messages, you see per proposal how broad the support is.

Ask one question of everyone it concerns

In a demo you see Upvoice with your own question: what you ask, who you invite and what you'll have at the end.
