When someone asks why, you have the answer.
Which arguments and ideas really count in your organisation — your people tell you themselves.
What you don't hear still has a say in the decision.
Someone saw it coming. Nobody told you. Why?
In surveys, one ticks what has been pre-specified.
Everyone answers alone. The result: averages and free text in the appendix.
Likes measure popularity.
They say nothing about what matters.
Workshops bring depth, for the twelve people in the room.
Everyone else stays silent.
Hierarchies filter a little at every level.
What arrives at the top is the tame version.
Large gatherings belong to the loudest.
The sharpest minds are rarely the loudest voices.
What holds up? What gets overlooked? What comes first?
A moderated workshop with everyone at the same time — from a hundred employees or customers to an entire population. You decide the questions, we develop them.
1. Everyone contributes anonymously what they think. Their own words instead of checkboxes and scales, within the questions you have set. We review every contribution before it enters the dialogue.
2. Everyone weighs up what is stronger. Every contribution competes against every other one on equal footing. See two contributions, choose the stronger one. Nothing else happens.
3. Everyone confirms what holds up. Duel by duel, a ranking of the ideas and arguments capable of winning a majority emerges. Every contribution is judged in many independent duels. No single group can prevail.
4. You see what holds up and where it breaks down. And you know why.
Scientifically grounded · Representative statements on request · 100% Swiss Made
Before you start, you give us six arguments you expect per question. You receive the complete ranking of all contributions. If at least five of the top ten, for each question, are ones you didn't name, we've at least doubled your knowledge. Otherwise, you pay nothing.
The IDEA DUEL. Four worlds.
We develop the questions together with you. We provide the communication you use to invite your stakeholders.
We moderate daily and present you with the ranking.
