Prevent rather than repair
The highest-rated proposals are about spotting faults before the customer notices.
Find the way forward
From a long list to a clear order
Leave the meeting with priorities the whole group stands behind. Everyone rates the proposals anonymously and on equal terms, and Vocean AI shows both the order and the reasoning behind it.
What it looks like with Vocean
Priorities everyone stands behind
The group rates together, and the result shows both the order and the reasoning behind it.
Every perspective
Everyone adds proposals and rates the list anonymously and at the same time, in the room or in advance. The manager's voice counts as much as the new hire's, so proposals are judged on content and the whole group shows in the order.
Insights straight away
Vocean AI shows what has broad support, where the group disagrees and why. Ask your own questions of the material, such as what sets the top-rated proposals apart from the rest.
Shared understanding
The priorities go back to everyone who took part, the same day. Everyone sees the same order and the reasons behind it, which makes the decision easy to stand behind, steering group included.
Action plan and the next round
Vocean AI suggests actions and follow-up workshops for what came out on top. You pick what fits and run the next round when the list is due for review.
The flow in practice
How to run a prioritisation workshop in Vocean
An example: a product group decides, together with sales and service, what goes into next year's roadmap.
1. Build the flow
Pick a template or let Vocean AI suggest the flow, and add the proposals you already have. Participants join straight away via a link or QR code and can add their own.
2. Collect and rate
Everyone completes the list and explains why proposals matter, anonymously and at the same time. The group then likes and scores the proposals, and the manager's voice counts as much as everyone else's.
3. Analyse and ask your own questions
Vocean AI shows what has broad support, where the group disagrees and why. Ask your own questions of the material, such as how sales and service rated the proposals.
4. Report back and build shared understanding
Share the priorities with everyone who took part the same day, on the same link. Everyone sees the order and the reasoning behind it, and that shared understanding makes the decision easy to stand behind.
5. Take the next step
Press “Suggest” and Vocean AI suggests actions, new workshops and decisions based on the priorities. Pick what fits and tick it off in the platform as you move ahead.
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 prioritised
Organisations use Vocean when many people need to contribute and the evidence has to hold.
2.5 h
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.”
“Being able to collect, categorise and let the participants prioritise the contributions in advance was a real advantage. It made our discussion richer and more focused on what the participants think is important.”
Questions and answers
Common questions about prioritisation
How do you prioritise as a group?
Collect the proposals, let everyone rate them anonymously and at the same time, then look at both the order and the reasoning behind it. That way priorities rest on broad input. In Vocean participants like and score the proposals, and Vocean AI summarises the result straight away.
How is this different from an ordinary poll?
A poll shows what got the most votes. In Vocean participants also explain their proposals and build on each other's, and Vocean AI shows why the group thinks the way it does and where it disagrees. You get a decision with the reasoning in plain sight.
Does the manager's voice count the same as everyone else's?
Yes. Contributions and ratings are anonymous, so every proposal is judged on its content and every voice counts equally.
How many people can take part?
It depends on the licence: up to 200 participants per workshop with our licences, and thousands with an Enterprise agreement. Participants join straight away via a link.
Can I try this on a real workshop?
Yes. Start a free trial and run it with your own team: one workshop with up to 20 participants, 4 analyses and 1 question of your own to Vocean AI.
