Workshops & Brainstorms

Let the room decide the direction

Word clouds, drawing boards, message walls and participant-driven routing. Workshops where the audience shapes what happens next, not just responds to what you've planned.

Word Cloud ideation

Open with a word cloud to surface the room's priorities without pre-defining the options. What comes up guides the rest of the session — genuinely participant-led.

Drawing Board

Participants sketch ideas on a collaborative canvas. Drawing boards break through the verbal-only format of most workshops and tap into different kinds of thinking.

Message walls

Collect ideas, concerns or provocations as a scrolling message wall. Great for retrospectives, problem-framing and idea generation where volume and variety matter.

Participant-directed routing

Use a poll to let the room vote on which topic to explore next, then automatically route to the relevant activities. The agenda responds to what participants actually choose.

Debate & prioritisation

Use the Debate Meter for left vs. right, for vs. against. Use a Ranking Poll to prioritise a list. Use Hot-or-Not to evaluate ideas one by one. Three formats for surfacing collective judgement.

Capture and export

Every word cloud response, message wall submission and poll result is captured and exportable. Workshop outputs don't disappear when the session ends.

Smart Routing for workshops

The agenda that the participants write

Start the workshop with a vote — "Which of these three topics should we focus on first?" — and use Smart Routing to automatically send participants to the activity stream for the winning topic.

The decision is collective. The routing is instant. The facilitation is seamless. You've planned all three streams; the participants decide which one they need today.

  • Route based on any poll or vote result
  • All streams planned in advance — routing decides which runs
  • Works across full-day facilitation with multiple decision points
  • Routing analytics show which paths were taken and why
