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.
- 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.
- Step 1
Audience and question
We determine who needs to be heard and which question calls for broad consultation.
- Step 2
Live consultation
Hundreds of participants can respond, build on each other and weigh at the same time.
- Step 3
Feedback
The outcome goes back to the participants: what was gathered and what happens with it.

Questions about consultation
Is your question not listed? Ask it in an introductory call.
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.
When do you start with a demo dialogue?
When you want to experience the format yourself before inviting a broad group.
The other applications
Every application works with the same live dialogue.
- View: deepen your employee survey
Deepen your employee survey
The survey results are in, but the why is missing. One dialogue around the key scores delivers a prioritised action list.
- View: change
Change
A reorganisation, merger or measure has to land. Gauge the concerns before you break the news, and again afterwards.
- View: psychological safety
Psychological safety
An anonymous dialogue about topics people do not discuss out loud. With reporting for the board, HR and the works council.
- View: test a decision
Test a decision
There is a plan on the table. Test where the support is and which objections you need to take seriously.
- View: strategy
Strategy
A strategy only works when people understand it and dare to question it. Let teams and layers respond to it.
- View: continuous listening
Continuous listening
Do not wait for signals to escalate. A fixed dialogue calendar lets leadership hear periodically what is changing.
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.
