Early contact
Several ideas are about getting in touch early in the relationship.
Find the way forward
More ideas from more people, with the best on top
Get more and better ideas from the whole group, and see straight away which ones you believe in most. Everyone contributes at the same time and anonymously, builds on each other's ideas and Vocean AI summarises the best.
What it looks like with Vocean
More ideas, better ideas
Everyone contributes at once, the group refines and rates, and you leave with ideas you believe in.
Every perspective
Everyone writes at the same time and anonymously, so ideas come from the whole group. The new hire's suggestion counts as much as the manager's, and more voices give you a richer pool of ideas.
Insights straight away
Vocean AI groups the ideas into themes and surfaces needs and opportunities straight away. Ask your own questions of the material, such as which ideas are quickest to try.
Shared understanding
Everyone who took part sees the result the same day, with the ideas the group rated highest. Everyone knows what happens to their suggestions, and the energy carries on.
Action plan and the next round
Vocean AI suggests actions and follow-up workshops around the strongest ideas. You choose what to try and develop the ideas further in the next round.
The flow in practice
How to run an idea session in Vocean
An example: a sales team gets together to find new ways to keep more customers.
1. Build the flow
Pick a template or let Vocean AI suggest the flow, and frame the challenge as an open question. The sales team joins straight away via a link or QR code.
2. Collect and rate
Everyone writes their ideas at the same time, anonymously. The group then likes, rates and builds on each other's ideas, so the strongest rise to the top.
3. Analyse and ask your own questions
Vocean AI groups the ideas and surfaces needs and opportunities. Ask your own questions of the material, such as which ideas you could try as early as next month.
4. Report back and build shared understanding
Share the result with everyone who took part the same day. Everyone sees which ideas the group believes in most, and you all stand behind the same direction.
5. Take the next step
Press “Suggest” and Vocean AI suggests actions, new workshops and decisions based on the ideas. Pick what you want to try and tick it off in the platform as you move forward.
Vocean AI gives you the analyses and answers to your own questions. Every answer counts, every single one, and the conclusions are yours.
Proof
How others got more ideas
Organisations use Vocean when many people need to contribute and the evidence has to hold.
30+
In 2.5 hours, the team generated over 30 new concepts with over 2000 responses!
“The application allows individuals to come up with ideas without being influenced by others in the group and makes everything visual and time efficient. With the help of the software, we were also able to rank the ideas together to arrive at the group’s general priority.”
1,000+
With Vocean, they collected 1,000+ ideas from their ecosystem.
“With Vocean we have been able to reach a broader audience and have thereby strengthened our anchoring in various processes. We also save time through AI support in summaries and suggested priorities and actions, which has made various decisions easier.”

Common questions about ideation
How do you get more ideas out of a workshop?
Let everyone write at the same time, anonymously. More ideas come out, from more people. In Vocean participants then build on each other's ideas and rate them, so you can see which ones the group believes in most.
Is Vocean a digital whiteboard?
Vocean complements the whiteboard. It is built to collect, refine and analyse ideas question by question and to report the result back. Keep the whiteboard for sketching, and use Vocean when many people contribute and you want to reach a decision.
Are there ready-made methods for innovation work?
Yes. Enterprise includes the methods Innovate, Explore, Prioritise and Present, with ready-made set-ups for ideation, surveys, prioritisation and visual results pages.
