UNISON LLC

WHAT:
UNISON™ is a meeting design process supported by knowledge management technology that links everyone in a meeting room together via a local area network (LAN) using proprietary UNISON software, CPU, LCD screens and a keyboard at each table. UNISON increases audience participation and provides a two-way conduit for collecting and sharing knowledge and information instantaneously. It is a collaborative interactive meetings tool that promotes action and helps users achieve desired outcomes.

UNISON has several features that can be easily customized with content and data provided by the client. These various modules include:

U•Ask, a Q&A function that allows audience and speaker to communicate even during the course of a presentation
U-Learn, a process the tests and certifies an u nlimited number of partipants in real time.
U•Think, a way for the audience to come to a consensus, or Brainstorm answers to specific questions posed from the podium
U•Talk, allows for the audience to communicate with each other through open discussion and feedback
U•Select, a method through which the audience can rank issues and concerns to find out what’s most important to them
U•Compete, a function that allows the audience to score points based on the value of their responses
U•Tell Us, a method of surveying the audience for feedback, before, during and after the event, allowing presenters to shape the meeting to the audience's needs and harvest their critical responses afterward.

All of these UNISON features deliver instantaneous feedback from each table that can be shared throughout the room simultaneously or designated for specific recipients. For additional information about the UNISON features, click here.

WHY:
Companies are demanding more and more from their meetings and are continuously evaluating their usefulness and contribution to achieving business goals and strategies. UNISON is a tool that addresses these issues and concerns. Users of UNISON find that it consistently ranks high in terms of meeting attendees’ rankings of likes and usefulness of meeting elements.

UNISON ensures that real work gets done in real time and that all intellectual property (data and thinking) is captured and then prioritized by the client and the UNISON Central Team and shared as desired during a meeting. It empowers participants with the same opportunity to participate and contribute regardless of their culture, customs, communication style, or personality. This is crucial when bringing together people from across the country and globe.

Presenters find UNISON easy to use and it connects them directly to their audience in a personal and intimate way. It allows all meeting participants (presenters and the audience) to become and stay involved in all aspects of the meeting. Because everyone is connected, it can also save time and money for breakout sessions and data can be expressed and shared immediately, not after attendees return back to their offices. In short, UNISON is a collaborative interactive tool that promotes action and helps users achieve desired outcomes.

HOW:
UNISON has an interactive LAN framework and features that can be easily tailored with data and content for a meeting. UNISON LLC works closely with clients or agencies to create and apply the UNISON process and technology to their meeting presentations. UNISON provides a complete meetings roadmap that starts with objectives and desired outcomes for the meeting(s) and includes planning and development and tutorials on the various UNISON modules that often spark new thinking for ways to gather and share data from meeting attendees and presenters. The UNISON Central Team, which is physically onsite at the meeting, provides simple pre-meeting training sessions for presenters and process analysis/support. UNISON LLC provides all hardware and software equipment. This includes a CPU, LCD screens and a keyboard at each table, presenter teleprompters and/or screens and large screens placed around the room with A/V support.

WHEN:
UNISON 4.0 with its expanded functionality is available today from UNISON LLC. The company is exploring “re-seller” and “licensing” options to offer the proprietary UNISON process and technology to other companies on a case-by-case basis. UNISON does require upfront planning and development, but is designed to enable information and data to be loaded efficiently. Depending on the complexity and number of presentations, planning and development can take as little as a few weeks to a couple of months in advance of a meeting. UNISON LLC personnel work closely with clients to take existing content and/or develop new content that can yield the best results. As the demand for UNISON continues to grow, availability requires advanced planning and scheduling as well.

UNISON is used for all types of corporate and protocol meetings, ranging from small high-level strategic meetings to large meetings with more than 2,000 participants. From its offices in New York and London, UNISON LLC can provide the UNISON process and knowledge management technology at meetings anywhere around the world.
