► Ensures the greatest possible candor and productivity during discovery meetings

► With anonymity, participants are far more likely to express honest attitudes and opinions.

► Participants feel energized by being able to express their honest opinions and feel listened to and included.

► Participants ‘buy-in’ and increase commitment to agreed change.

► Allows you to get more done in less time

► Because responses are submitted simultaneously, more ideas/opinions can be captured in a given period of time.
