A competition of arguments. And everyone sits on the jury.
The Idea Duel: it’s not who says it that counts, but what convinces.
Judgements count, not likes.
We read every contribution before it enters the dialogue: we merge duplicates, insults stay out, criticism stays in. Then everyone decides for themselves which of two contributions matters more.
Weighing up, not wishing.
“More budget” or “clear responsibilities”? Having to choose shows what really matters. Thousands of these duels produce your ranking.
Your questions, your decision.
You follow along live, and everything stays within the dialogue until the end. You see the results first. What happens next is up to you.
In the strategy workshop, we record six assumptions per question: what you expect from your stakeholders. At the end, we compare them with the ten strongest contributions. If, on average, at least five of them are new to you, your knowledge has doubled. If fewer are, we do not invoice you for the dialogue.
Five dialogues. One method.

Leadership Dialogue
Leadership Dialogue
Will your plans be backed?
Involve employees in decision-making before you commit.
The higher the position, the rarer the unfiltered feedback.
The leadership dialogue is an anonymous dialogue that executive boards use to involve their employees in decisions. Employees say where the organisation really stands, and nobody sets the ranking in advance: it emerges from their own judgements.

How is your workforce experiencing the change?
The alternative to the employee survey.
Annual surveys show how things were. Not how they are right now.
The culture dialogue is an anonymous employee dialogue for organisations going through cultural change. Instead of filling in a questionnaire, the workforce raises its own concerns and judges those of others. This shows what really moves people at the moment of change, and in what order.

What do your customers really want first?
Prioritise customer needs.

for public administration and politics
Can your proposal win a majority?
Participation that makes a difference.
Decisions must be justified, not just made.
The citizen dialogue is an anonymous form of public participation and citizen engagement: residents raise their own concerns and judge those of others. Unlike a population survey, this produces a ranking that shows where your project already has support and where it still needs clarification.
