Virtual Round Tables

A cost effective way of sharing insight and solving problems - Virtual Round Tables is a powerful tool for addressing your innovation challenges.

How does it work? Each participant is assigned to a virtual table to work on a challenge over a specified timeframe. For example, you could assign 10 topics to ten separated groups for a 4 week period. Table members can exchange thoughts, generate ideas, and vote and build out the best solutions; the discussions can be facilitated centrally. You can involve staff from anywhere within the organisation and external parties from around the world. Being virtual (without having to be run in real time), it enables offline 'thinking time' for tackling complex issues.

The benefits

• Generate better quality insight and a higher volume of ideas
• Higher innovation success rates
• Drive higher levels of participant engagement
• Easy to manage online, flexible and scalable
• Easy to assign participants to different tables
