Stimulating participation with interactive voting
2008-04-13 09:48:00
Interactive voting systems have a wide versatility. Some companies use them to make their events more enjoyable - more like a game for involving participants than a mechanism for obtaining feedback; but there are also companies that see interactive voting as a means for triggering debates that would otherwise be more difficult to generate.This is the case of real estate consultancy CD Richard Ellis Spain, which, for over a year now, has been using the PowerVote system at customer events organised by the company's marketing department. "These are themed real estate seminars at which we sound out client opinions on relevant aspects of the sector," explains Gorka Anitua Valluerca, the consultancy's marketing manager.Read more...


Text message voting
2008-02-15 13:07:00
Method:You display a question in your MS Powerpoint presentation, the participants answer by sending a text message using their mobile telephones, and the results of the vote are displayed as a graph in the presentation.Pros:The participants themselves supply the voting devices, which are their own mobile telephones! There are no logistics, and the cost of organising the session is cut significantly.Cons:Writing a text message answer (the writing and sending of the text) is harder work than using a voting keypad (where there are just a few keys to press), so it takes longer to answer. You will also need an Internet connection on the PC and good coverage for the mobile telephones.My opinion:This is the best solution to use when you have a large number of participants (500+ people) and a sm

Some meetings focus on a specific topic and there is a target for the progress to be made by the participants on this subject. Interactivity can make a significant contribution, especially at the start and end of the seminar:at the start it can help with finding out more quickly how much the participants know and what they expect. Immediate participation by everyone and the debate sparked off by the answers to the questions posed can quickly create a climate of trust which will last throughout the seminar. The ice is quickly broken and, from the introduction, the discussions focus on the most important points.The questions which are asked can save considerable time both in terms of specifying the profiles of the participants and on a technical level (degree of knowledge of the subject bein
