As you read, look for themes and key messages emerging from the group. In 5 minutes we'll start a whole group discussion about what you've discovered. The Council software, deployed in a meeting, is an enabler. It enables things to happen in groups that wouldn't or couldn't happen otherwise. New voices are heard.
New depth is achieved.
Council is a tool for stimulating essential discussions and new understandings in a minimum amount of time. The polling tools perform sophisticated prioritizing and weighting functions. The recording tool, ChartPad, is used like a flipchart. The Guide can open or close this window on all the participants' screens. At the close of small group work, the Council Guide uploads all the different group's data and presents it on the large video screen as each group makes their report.
