The OptionFinder System is a powerful combination of advanced decision support software and wireless response keypads that allows you do rapidly prioritize key issues and show alignment and diversity of opinion. OptionFinder includes sophisticated prioritization tools that allow groups to quickly and easily poll through a series of action items, initiatives, or goals. Participants typically use their keypads to rank a series of action items or issues (either added beforehand or brainstormed "on-the-fly"). OptionFinder displays a graph of polling results showing the average rank of all items. Our clients routinely tell us that OptionFinder® dramatically speeds up decision-making because it highlights area of agreement and disagreement in formats that are easily understood by both participants and facilitators.
