Decision making by consensus and user preferences

Multivoting.com helps communities create a consensus path to achieve desired results with an intuitive and easy-to-use application that combines a problem-solving framework with decision-making techniques.

The Problem

Combining people's knowledge and experience to pursue a common goal and deciding the best perspective on how to do something is not an easy task. Agree on a decision, priorities and/or resource allocation is challenging, especially if the work groups are remote or in hybrid mode. In addition, much of this teamwork is affected by:

• Lack of structure to frame the problem and clear outcome expectation

• Too many expensive complex tools and methods to choose from and combine

• Long and unproductive online meetings

• Communication problems

• Failure to include all ideas and no equity opportunities to participate

• Distrust in leadership, organizations, and widespread disagreement

• Users don't get involved in the solution and then reject the product

To solve these problems, working groups need a better tool with an intuitive process able to classify and prioritize a long list of possibilities and find by consensus the most suitable alternatives, acceptable enough for all interested parties to support the decision.

Our Solution

This startup is creating a safe and inclusive environment where project teams, managers, executives, sponsors, customers, and users can anonymously share their wants, thoughts, needs, and perspectives on problems, ideas, or goals to create a wide list of options to decide. Then by consensus find among all the alternatives, the most acceptable for all interested parties.

The plan is to bring individual emotions and perspectives into a collaborative critical thinking process, considering the balance between resources and requirements. Multivoting.com helps align goals and promotes teamwork to achieve a common vision.

Our tool incorporates a guided problem-solving process with the use of the Likert scale to find out and measure the opinions, attitudes, and preferences of the group and with the multi-voting technique to reach agreements. We can classify votes and advice based on demographic information related to roles, stakeholder positions, and organizational structure to understand social group behavior. This will help define a project context that meets the expectations of its stakeholders.

When used to define the scope of a project, Multivoting.com provides traceability of the assumptions and interpretation of the facts used to make decisions. This will be very useful if changes are required.

Our capability for stakeholders to share information in real-time as change is happening and collect their concerns at any point in a project's schedule provides the business with the ability to spot new risks or opportunities.

This app is intended for resource managers, project managers, product owners, property managers, and portfolio managers, but because it's intuitive, interactive, and easy to use, anyone without experience structuring a problem statement, brainstorming, or seeking agreement on solutions can use it.
