Consensor Audience Response System
Consensor™ Audience Response System helps groups find common ground on issues that might otherwise be contentious. Consensor™ is a computerized facilitation tool that promotes audience participation in group meetings. Individuals use simple 10-button keypads to wirelessly transmit their responses to yes-no or ranked priority questions. Audience responses are instantly tabulated and a chart showing the results is immediately available to display for the group’s review or discussion.
Consensor™ helps to “level the playing field” in a discussion, allowing everyone to express their opinions safely regardless of their comfort speaking in public or their status in the group. Consensor™ is popular with audience members who often say it makes a long day more fun.

Information Insights often uses Consensor™ to facilitate decision making in large group settings, but it is also useful for holding elections, prioritizing issues or tasks, testing a group’s knowledge on a subject, or any time you want to ask a question and get an instant response from your audience.
Information Insights rents Consensor™ as a package to help your event go smoothly. Our package includes a technician to operate Consensor™ and up to 100 hand-held keypads with all necessary hardware and software. We will input your prepared script before the event and provide a basic report of polling results afterwards. Additional services, including script development and detailed reporting, are available on request and are billed at standard consulting rates.
In any group you have a few individuals who will speak up, and many who won’t. Consensor allows you to find out what everyone is thinking about the issues.

Bristol Bay Region Visioning Project
April 28th, 2010
Information Insights will be helping Bristol Bay residents develop a region-wide vision. Five regional organizations – BBNC, BBNA, BBEDC, BBHA and BBAHC – are partnering to make the project happen. Information Insights will work to engage residents in every village in the region through community meetings to be held this fall and winter. At the meetings, Information Insights facilitators will seek to identify the underlying principles that unify the people of the region in order to develop a common vision that will give voice to their shared values. The visioning process will be transparent, neutral and inclusive for all residents of the region. Consensor™ audience response technology will be used to ensure that all participants have an equal voice. Lead project staff at Information Insights are senior consultants Sherry Modrow and Cady Lister and project consultants Jane Angvik and Dr. Steve Langdon. Other project staff include Brenda Holden, Chris Rogers and Jessica Holden. Jana Peirce will develop a project website and social media presence to reach out to younger Bristol Bay area residents.
