Using our services will improve your ability to achieve outcomes based on consensus. Our Facilitators will help you focus on the issues you need to deal with and how to arrive at a consensus on them in the most efficient way possible.
Because our system provides for anonymous participation, group interaction is improved and better ideas are brought out. Acord can shorten meetings by establishing agreement before meetings begin. This allows a group to concentrate on what needs to be discussed.
When more people are involved in arriving at a consensus Managers get a better grasp on how and why a consensus is arrived at. Our service allows for any decision arising from a consensus outcome to be tested before implementation.
The Delphi process was invented in the 1950s. Our service provides computer assisted moderation of group ideas and consensus building. Participants have individual anonymity but group accountability.
No special software is required! Our service works with all web browsers on any platform. Either through the internet or for ultimate security on our own server that we bring to a meeting. Using our service is very simple because there is no need to configure any hardware.
We provide the record of all Acord outcomes. By providing tangible evidence of the results, our service makes your consensus building and decision alignment process more effective and as a result cheaper.
