UNISON LLC

A Q&A function that allows audience and speaker to communicate even during the course of a given presentation.
U•ASK – QUESTIONS POSED FROM THE AUDIENCE TO PRESENTERS
	This module is for running a Question and Answer session in which single or multiple presenters answer questions from an audience. You may opt to make the questions visible to all tables or only to the table making the entry.
	Benefits: U•ASK generates questions from a much larger pool of participants. This is an especially powerful tool when attendees come from a wide range of native languages, cultures and/or levels in the organization.
	UNISON allows the questions to be split up among speakers, panel members or segments of the program and gives the presenters time to think about their responses.
	Clients often find rich information in these questions that help with post-meeting activities. Presenters not only leave the meeting with a good idea about what is on the attendees’ minds, but also can refer back to the collected content for post-meeting follow-up.
U•ASK By Topic – DIRECTED AND CATEGORY-SPECIFIC QUESTIONS POSED FROM AUDIENCE TO PRESENTERS, SUCH AS MEMBERS OF A PANEL DISCUSSION
	The audience member is required to submit questions via multiple categories. This function can be used for one speaker or multiple speakers.
	Benefits: Questions can be more focused and combined with tabletop discussion activities.
	Post-meeting reports and analysis of answers to the directed questions can be used to guide future strategies and operations of the firm or company.

A function that streamlines assessment and certification of an unlimited number of participants in real time.
U•LEARN–
	U-Learn is a training accelerator and process that tests and certifies an unlimited number of participants generating real time computations of assessments, certifications and competitions in a "live" group environment.

A way for the audience to come to consensus or brainstorm answers to specific questions posed from the podium. U•THINK allows your audience to “break out” without ever leaving the meeting room.
U•THINK Brainstorming:
	This function allows all tables in the room to discuss a specific question, topic or challenge. This function captures the opinions of each member rather than one consensus answer. Answers can be of any length. Limits can be set on the total number of entries.
U•THINK Consensus Building:
	This function allows tables to enter multiple responses to a given question, topic or challenge posed by the presenter and develop a focused table response. Participants may or may not be allowed to view what other tables have entered as their responses. Also, the room may be divided into teams of tables. There is no restriction to the length of answers.
U•THINK Guided Discussions:
	Similar to Brainstorming, with this function audience members are asked to enter responses to any number of specific talking points. This given data can be set by the meeting organizers or by a previous session run during the meeting. The limit on the number of entries is set by the amount of given data.
	Benefits: A true sense of participation, importance and involvement on the part of meeting participants. UNISON gives organizations the ability to gather the combined knowledge and wisdom from their employees.
	What’s more, UNISON provides an effective and useful way to balance meeting methods between didactic presentations and highly interactive participation.

A method of allowing the audience to rank issues and concerns, to find out what’s most important to them.

This function gives each table to opportunity to order or score a list of ideas, ascertains or issues. The scoring aspect of this function can be configured to allow one consensus vote per table or one vote per individual at the table.

A way for the audience to communicate with each other through open discussions and feedback.

This function is set up using the discussion room software and allows for the participants to see every table’s thoughts and ideas, or if desired, only those selected by the meeting organizer.

A method of surveying the audience for feedback before, during and after the event, allowing presenters to shape the meeting to their needs and harvest their critical responses afterwards.

This function can also be used in conjunction with a pre- and post-event survey, which can be located on the company’s Intranet.

A function that allows the audience to score points based on the value of their responses.

It can take on a number of program designs to include ongoing competitions or self-contained “game show” segments.

In addition to the U-Functions that support your presentation and process content, there are numerous features available with UNISON™ to aid with meeting logistics.

Table numbering
Names of participants
Welcome and housekeeping messages
Scrolling banners
Countdown clock

All of this on-site interactive communication is managed by the UNISON™ Central Team, who receive, organize and prioritize the flow of information, with every bit of the resulting data collected and made available for your review and use.

Additionally, this data enables you to measure the effectiveness of your program through customized reports. You can post these results on your web site following the event.
