For speaker introductions (Brainopener)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An often underestimated technique in event interaction is asking questions BEFORE a content input (presentation, interview, etc.). However this is probably one of the most effective and exciting uses of interaction ever. Here are some ideas:<\/p>\n<p><span><\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Estimation questions<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">The classic of interaction BEFORE a lecture:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><em>&#8220;How how do you estimate the federal social expenditures to be?&#8221;<\/em><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Options:&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">3 billion? 542 billion? 918 billion.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Perfect, if this is then (quite a lot) later answered by the speaker &#8211; here you have created suspense.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">The only important thing here is that you have to give options, i.e. vote with given answers. An estimation question with the SMARTCloud does not lead to a picture of what the audience thinks, but to confusing numbers (because 918 and 917 are different in the WordCloud, although a person would of course say: close enough!).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Belonging-Questions (Group)<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Very intriguing before a lecture:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><em>&#8220;Which group do you feel you belong to?&#8221;<\/em><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Options: Babyboomer, Gen X, Gen Y, Gen Z (as voting)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><em>&#8220;Which Country are you from?&#8221;<\/em> (SMARTCloud, only for MANY countries)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">These kinds of questions tell the audience something about themselves as a group and are therefore very exciting. They also allow the speaker to respond directly to the community image.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Belonging-Questions (Range)<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Sometimes however it makes sense to not ask for a defined answer but to give ranged options:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><em>&#8220;When did you first buy a smartphone?&#8221;<\/em><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Options: 2016-2019, 2011-2015, 2007-2011, before 2007 (Voting)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Here the viewer learns: Was I early in comparison with this community? Or late? The speaker may later provide the Germany statistis and they get a picute of community vs. Germany.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Self-assessment (&#8220;hand on heart&#8221;, anonymous!)<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Self-assessment questions go one step further than belonging questions and are also perfect BEFORE a presentation:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><em>&#8220;Hand on your heart: How do you rate yourself when it comes to sports?&#8221;<\/em><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Options: Leading, in midfield, rather in the back (Voting)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">The attention for the upcoming talk on physical health will automatically be higher.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><strong>Important: <\/strong>In the facilitation repeat that VOXR is 100% anonymous.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><\/span><\/p>\n<h4>The &#8220;tailored&#8221; presentation<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">With <a href=\"https:\/\/voxr.org\/en\/cloud\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span>VOXR &nbsp;Cloud Q&amp;A<\/span><\/a><span>&nbsp;<\/span>you can choose a special type of interaction that works very well with CEO&#8217;s or experienced, well-known speakers: <em>&#8220;Now comes &#8220;Celebrity xyz&#8221;. Before he shows you anything, say: &#8220;What would your number one question for him be?&#8221;<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Since the <u>questions<\/u> in the cloud are not shown, but only the most common <u>topics<\/u>, this gives the speaker a perfect view of the interests in the room &#8211; and he can react perfectly and be truly interactive with the audience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">\u200b<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">By the way: the widespread concern of having to &#8220;deliver&#8221; is unfounded: You are only interested in the audience, you have not promised to answer everything. Audience and speakers therefore love this variant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>3. During\/after presentations \/ Actions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span><\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Q&amp;A \/ Questions from the audience<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">There are two ways to let viewers ask questions digitally:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">1) Questions during the presentation: <em>&#8220;You can also ask questions during&#8230;&#8221;<\/em>. This is also possible with VOXR. But this way is sometimes difficult to &#8220;facilitate&#8221;.i.e. which questions do you choose? Why these? Why not the others? In addition, you realistically only get 10 or 20 questions of which you can only &#8220;show&#8221; 5: A large part remains uninvolved.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">2) However the&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/voxr.org\/en\/cloud\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">VOXR CloudQ&amp;A Method<\/a> includes everyone: It is recommended if you want more real interaction (to really know what&#8217;s happening in the audience) or if you want to show the audience that all inputs have really arrived &#8211; but without showing the questions.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">In our experience, with VOXR Cloud Q&amp;A you get about 10-100 times more quesiotn (depending on audience size) than with questions during the presentation as stated in point 1). This also leads to better quality, because in a concentrated input action you can also hear the quiet voices. (Experience shows that loud voices are more likely to enter something during a presentation than quiet ones, a problem known from questions with the microphone).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Competitions and awards<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Classical applications for voting AFTER presentations are of course competitions:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><em>&#8220;Which project proposal did you like best?&#8221;<\/em> Options: A, B, C, D, E<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Such competitions can be made with simple voting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">However now you can do this in a hollywood-like fashion with&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/voxr.org\/awards\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">VOXR Awards<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Ratings\/Rankings (Careful)<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Ratings are often thought of as a way to be interactive. However, they only make sense if you make a comparison, e.g. assign rating to different project ideas.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Experience shows, however, that ratings usually fall behind other forms of interaction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Exception: You make the ranking \/ rating before and after the presentation to make a &#8220;learning&#8221; visible. Depending on the context, this can also be &#8220;forced&#8221;: &#8220;Hopefully you have learned something, haven&#8217;t you?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Content questions are a good alternative:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><em>&#8220;What did you find most remarkable about this team\/lecture? <\/em>(SMARTCloud, the word &#8220;nothing&#8221; is blocked by the way!)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span><\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Opinion questions (Careful)<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Opinion polls (good\/bad\/medium) are of course known to everyone from surveys.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">In an event you sometimes have the problem: What do you do with the result on stage? (The product presentation or the team feeling is voted as &#8220;bad&#8221; &#8211; and now?)<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Often, therefore, questions that go further in terms of content are more effective:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">1.&nbsp;<em>&#8220;<\/em><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><em>What did you just like about the project presentation?&#8221;<\/em><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">2. <em>&#8220;What didn&#8217;t you like?&#8221;<\/em><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">(both SMARTCloud)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Panal discussion<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">There are two ways to let viewers ask questions during a panel discussion:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">1) Questions during the presentation:&nbsp;<em>&#8220;You can also ask questions during&#8230;&#8221;<\/em>. This is also possible with VOXR. But this way is sometimes difficult to &#8220;facilitate&#8221;. i.e. to select and introduce. In addition, you realistically only get 10 or 20 questions of which you can only &#8220;show&#8221; 5.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">2) The&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/voxr.org\/cloud\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">VOXR CloudQ&amp;A Method<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">: This is the innovative method of VOXR founder Tim Schl\u00fcter, which makes panel discussions much easier and much more interesting for the audience: At the beginning, all questions in the room are &#8220;fetched&#8221; in 1 minute, automatically clustered into topics, the (filtered) topics are shown to the audience (the questions are not) and now you pick out one question topic by topic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Our experience shows that the second variant regularly brings 10 times more questions than the first one. This also leads to better quality, because in a concentrated input action you can also hear the quiet voices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u200b4. Specials<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span><\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Workshops \/ Sessions<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Workshops \/ Break-Outs \/ Sessions often have two interests:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">1. You want to <u>use VOXR in the sessions themselves<\/u>. That works. Technically implemented with independent VOXRs, one independent VOXR per room (these VOXRs don&#8217;t cost the same as the main VOXR, of course).&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">2. One wants a s<u>ummary of the workshops later in the plenum<\/u>. For this the unique <a href=\"https:\/\/voxr.org\/en\/groups\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span>VOXR Groups<\/span><\/a> is the solution: With only one VOXR you &#8220;fetch&#8221; a summary in different workshops at the same time:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><em>&#8220;What was your most important lesson from this workshop?&#8221;<\/em> (SMARTCloud)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">In the Plenum the entried can be shown separately or summarized to together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Variant 2 is often the simpler and more effective option for shorter workshops (up to 1hour).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Blue Ocean Strategy<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">\u200b<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">The&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blueoceanstrategy.com\/tools\/four-actions-framework\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">four key questions of the Blue Ocean Strategy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"> have now become a popular (and, if well guided, very effective) exercise for workshops.You can do this exercise with VOXR in two ways, each after the brainstorm phases:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">a) a) You say while everyone is still in small groups: &#8220;Ok, what did you take out of the session?&#8221; In VOXR, you have previously set up the four sections with <a href=\"https:\/\/voxr.org\/en\/groups\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span>VOXR Groups<\/span><\/a>: &#8220;Reduce\/Eliminate\/raise\/invent&#8221;. In the plenum you can then discuss word clouds that have arisen per blue ocean tactic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">b) b) If you additionally want to know absolutely, unconditionally, whether there were differences in the groups, set the four blue ocean topic queries sequentially as individual VOXR actions one after the other &#8211; and set your workshop groups as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/voxr.org\/groups\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">groups<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"> for each individual action.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Because of the lower complexity, we recommend variant a). One reason to use variant b) would be to give separate feedback to individual workshop leaders for review (as wordclouds).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><\/span><\/p>\n<h4>&#8220;Feedback-sheet&#8221;<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">The classic feedback form is often a nuisance: Few fill it out, the evaluation takes time and the result? Often does not lead to changes at all, but stands &#8220;for itself&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Our recommendation is&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/voxr.org\/en\/smartfeedback\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">VOXR SMARTFeedback<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">: Get real, useful and feasible feedback with only two open questions (plus a qualitative rating question if necessary):<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><em>&#8220;What did you really like today from an organisational point of view?&#8221;&nbsp;<\/em>(SMARTCloud)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><em>&#8220;If we repeat the event, what would you personally change?&#8221;<\/em> (SMARTCloud)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">if applicable: <em>&#8220;How would you rate the event on a scale of 1-10?&#8221;<\/em> (Voting)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">The feedback sheet is finished- and evaluated by VOXR automatically, with all individual voices ready&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">to download.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>5. ATTENTION: enjoy with caution!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span><\/span><\/p>\n<h4>&#8220;Warm up&#8221;<\/h4>\n<p>Approximately 80% of our customers come up with this idea in the personal consulting of VOXR. A warm up question like<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>&#8220;How did you get here? Bus\/train\/car\/foot&#8221;<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>&#8220;What did you have for breakfast this morning?&#8221;<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>&#8220;How are you feeling right now?&#8221;<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-empty=\"true\"><strong>In contrast to other event consultants, we strongly advise against this.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p data-empty=\"true\">Why?<\/p>\n<p data-empty=\"true\">Well, it&#8217;s understandable that in the first step you think of asking Warm-Up. After all, you want to &#8220;play it safe&#8221;: &#8220;<em>What if something goes wrong?<\/em><em>&#8220;<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-empty=\"true\">This is emotionally very understandable, but the truth is:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-empty=\"true\">A test really doesn&#8217;t have the &#8220;perceived protective function&#8221; you want.<\/li>\n<li data-empty=\"true\">Because something can &#8220;go wrong&#8221; <em>at any time <\/em>(not just during the test): an operator is asleep, a technician is asleep, the Internet is crashing worldwide.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This means: Testing with an audience doesn&#8217;t help a bit more than testing without an audience (which we recommend).<\/p>\n<p>BUT: Testing with an audience has two more drawbacks:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. The test<em> itself <\/em>makes the success of the interaction not more probable, but <em>less probable<\/em> (!).<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The reason is: If you do a &#8220;test&#8221;, you tell me as a participant in the audience that it <em>needs<\/em> a test. But it only needs a test if you are not sure. Your insecurity is transferred to the audience. The result: You don&#8217;t get <em>more<\/em> participation &#8211; you get<em> less<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. A test with questions like the one above sets a tone for the interaction. And the tone is then: &#8220;It&#8217;s just fun&#8221;. Or &#8220;Who&#8217;s the funniest one?&#8221;<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong> But at least: &#8220;We have a new gimmick here&#8221; &#8211; and don&#8217;t take you seriously.<\/p>\n<p>Experience shows that this thwarts everything you (and we) actually want with VOXR: Namely to listen <em>seriously <\/em>to the audience.<\/p>\n<p>For all these reasons (doesn&#8217;t bring anything, but has serious disadvantages) we advise against it.<\/p>\n<p>Ok, but what do we do now for your safety &#8230;? We do the same thing as with a microphone, with the light and with everything else: You&#8217;re not testing in the event. But <em>before the event.&nbsp;<\/em>Nobody would come up with the idea to say in the event: &#8220;So and now we&#8217;ll test the full stage light &#8230; watch out!&#8221; &#8211; although also light ( like everything in life) has risks. But you test beforehand and start &#8220;for real&#8221; in the event.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, for example with the above mentioned <strong>introductory action: &#8220;What question did you come here today with?&#8221;<\/strong> That&#8217;s what VOXR users around the world do day after day &#8211; and the <strong>public is delighted that it&#8217;s being taken seriously. Right from the start<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span><\/span><\/p>\n<h4>&#8220;Maschine gun&#8221;<\/h4>\n<p>VOXR is fun. You noticed that during testing.Moreover, VOXR is practically free (well, you pay once, but every further action is free). In addition, many VOXR users know typical Internet questionnaires such as Survey-Money, etc..<\/p>\n<p>These three factors quickly lead to you doing as MANY actions as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Here we recommend to take a step back and to come back to the goal of the VOXR application:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Do you want the audience to &#8220;tip around&#8221; as much as possible? Would you like to receive as many &#8220;colourful graphics&#8221; as possible? Or do you want VOXR to help you fulfil your event purpose (information, bonding, change, whatever) better and more sustainably?<\/p>\n<p>If the latter is the case, we highly recommend it: Less, but more intensive.<\/p>\n<p>This means: Instead of quickly firing away three voting questions, it is very, very often the case that a cloud question that you really respond to, inquire about, possibly catch up with a microphone voice, etc. is much better.<\/p>\n<p>What also works is: A vote question (yes\/no, left\/right, straight), which you then follow up with a GROUPs cloud question: &#8220;Now enter the reason why you voted, how you voted. You first define the segments (groups) as well as the voting answers.<\/p>\n<p>Now the audience have only &#8220;tipped around&#8221; twice but an intensive discussion on stage.<\/p>\n<p>Our recommendation: ONE action between each event point is already very good. If one or the other speaker then asks ONE question for each topic section, it is already extremely interactive.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as there is more, we recommend to ask critically: Can we still discuss meaningfully the points at all?<\/p>\n<p>Our recommendation is not &#8220;less is more&#8221;. But:<strong> &#8220;Less, better and more intensive&#8221;.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And to the thesis that actions are &#8220;free&#8221;: The ROI is not &#8220;cost\/number of questions&#8221;, but &#8220;cost\/public change (or enthusiasm)&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><span><\/span><\/p>\n<h4>&#8220;Votings instead of WordClouds&#8221;<\/h4>\n<p>Wait a minute?!<\/p>\n<p>Isn&#8217;t VOXR a voting tool? Why are Votings dangerous?<\/p>\n<p>Absolutely. And many Votings are outstanding. (See above).<\/p>\n<p>But we also often get plans with votings that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>contain many selection points,<\/li>\n<li>may also be long in formulation<\/li>\n<li>make me as the audience ask myself: Yes, and where is MY point?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Our recommendation is: Have a look at the voting possibilities above. These are by far the most effective. If a voting does not fall under the point above, you have either just invented something ingenious (and that can be quite possible, we see it again and again and then record it here!) or you have something that may not work optimally.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TIP: Go to the next room with the question, programmed in the VOXR and ask a non-involved person to vote. Look at their face. Don&#8217;t say anything. Wait for what he asks. Why does he ask that? What does that mean for your planned voting? If the person types something immediately and with a smile, you are on a perfect path.<\/strong><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>(Of course it can also be that the person frowned because he does not know much on the subject, this happens. You will know how to tell the difference and how to incorporate it into your assessment.)<\/p>\n<p>Very often the solution is<\/p>\n<p>a) a WordCloud (it gives more freedom and therefore a clearer picture of what&#8217;s REALLY going on, not just what&#8217;s going on in the predetermined things)<\/p>\n<p>b) a Free-Voting: Just DO NOT specify any things. But still choose a voting. Now the VOXR automatically creates the topics that come. You can merge them &#8211; like in the WordCloud ect.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>And how exactly does that work?

In the question and answer session alone, we received 60 questions from 100 participants this time, which was great, where otherwise many questions rarely come. The co-moderation function, i.e. selecting individual questions, is extremely helpful and just as easy as the entire use of VOXR.<\/p>\n<p><span>Simone B\u00f6pple ,<\/span><span>Chemical &#038; Pharmaceutical Development Biopharma<\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/voxr.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2018\/10\/frankfurt_school_of-finance_and_management.png\" alt=\"profile-pic\"><\/p>\n<h4>&#8230; so it was obviously a big success!<\/h4>\n<p>I asked myself beforehand whether VOXR was really that simple. But the VOXR team was able to clear up all my worries step by step, and after the test run my insecurity was completely removed. Today I know: VOXR is not only simple, but the operation in the event is even fun. The audience was also enthusiastic: VOXR has shaken people awake, attracted attention and the audience simply felt serious and noticed. Suddenly the event was more lively. In addition, there was also a new valuable topic of conversation that we would not have had without VOXR. In the end, enthusiastic colleagues of ours wanted to know how to get the tool, so it was obviously a great success!<\/p>\n<p><span>Hannah Schmitz ,<\/span><span>Frankfurt School of Finance &#038; Management <\/span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/voxr.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2019\/05\/mtm-Logo.png\" alt=\"profile-pic\"><\/p>\n<h4>The response was outstanding.<\/h4>\n<p>In the control panel I looked at the raw data and selected the most important questions with a star. Our moderator \/ boss got the iPad from me with the moderation view when he went on stage after the presentation. He could then (almost) ask all the questions to the speakers.

VOXR immediately clustered the topics live so that we could ask our experts directly about the most frequently requested topics. The anonymity of VOXR has also shown the frequency of questions that are really important, which actually has promoted the process. The simplicity of VOXR convinced us and has already led to inquiries from external and internal partners in our company.
