Our collaboration

We double your knowledge. Or you pay nothing.

Strategy Workshop

Sharpening the decision. Setting up the dialogue together.

  • Beforehand we analyse your situation and develop a first proposal for the questions, the hypotheses, the stakeholder group and the way people take part.

  • In the workshop we sharpen the concept with you and record the six assumptions per question that the dialogue is to test.

  • Afterwards we work the dialogue concept into final form. You decide whether a pilot dialogue or a dialogue mandate follows.

  • The concept is yours, even if no dialogue follows.

Scope and fixed price are agreed before we start.

Pilot Dialogue

Experience the Idea Duel on a real decision.

  • A clearly limited run on one question from the workshop.

  • It shows which arguments your stakeholders support, which assumptions hold up under scrutiny and which topics have not reached you so far.

  • We write the communication, moderate the dialogue and present the ranking together with a results report.

Scope and fixed price are agreed before we start.

Dialogue Mandate

Running the dialogue in full.

  • We run the dialogue with your stakeholders, moderate it, analyse the results and present them to you.

  • You receive priorities, consensus, a decision matrix, blind spots, segment analyses and a comprehensive report for your executive board, your governing body or the public.

  • The scope depends on the number of questions, the size of the stakeholder group, the segmentation you want and the languages.

Before we start, you receive a proposal with a binding cost ceiling.

Framework Mandate

A basis for comparison, for everyone who needs to decide regularly.

  • For organisations that prepare decisions repeatedly and want to observe change over time.

  • We repeat dialogues at fixed intervals or whenever a decision calls for one. This gives you a development over time.

Because the concept, the activation and the question structure are already in place, every follow-up dialogue costs less.

Insight Guarantee

You set the standard yourself, before we start.

  • In the strategy workshop you record six assumptions that you expect for each question.

  • We feed them in anonymously, indistinguishable from the contributions of your stakeholders.

  • At the end there is a complete ranking, often several hundred ideas and arguments. Whether your knowledge doubles is measured against the top ten.

  • There we guarantee you at least five topics that were not on your radar. Measured as an average across all questions. If we do not achieve that, we do not send an invoice.

  • You keep the complete analysis in every case.

No consultant commits in advance to how much new ground they will cover. We do, and we put our fee behind it.

What we take on

You provide the context. We do the rest.

What it takes on your side
Three hours in the workshop. One sign-off on the communication. Everything else is ours, from moderation through to the report. Your participants need ten minutes. We can be ready to start within 48 hours.

We develop the questions

Open questions and the hypotheses to be tested.

We write the invitation

Texts and communication concept for your stakeholders.

We set up the dialogue room

With your logo, in your design.

We moderate daily

For three weeks, with no effort for you.

We check every contribution

So the dialogue stays factual and safe.

You follow along live

Visible daily, which topics dominate.

We analyse and segment

By the criteria you define.

We write the report and one pager

One results report per question and one one pager.

We deliver the follow-up communication

Ready for your stakeholders.

60+ organizations have worked with us
For those who want the details

Do we end up with a wish list?

No, because nobody can only wish.

  • Every participant has to choose between two contributions, a hundred times over

  • What ends up at the top has prevailed against everything else, and you see how many people stand behind it

What if too few take part?

Communication is half the battle, and it is our job.

  • We do not invite people to a survey. We put into words what is at stake, specific to your question

  • From experience we know what works

  • For participants it takes ten minutes, anonymously and at any time of day

Are you a software or a consultancy?

A consultancy with its own instrument.

  • We take on the work from the question to the basis for decision

  • Like a classic consultancy we hold conversations and analyse them. We just hold a thousand at once, digitally

  • You acquire no licence and set nothing up

Can we see this beforehand?

Yes. We show you a completed dialogue with real results.

  • In the twenty-minute intro call we go through your question

  • If a dialogue does not serve your decision-making, we tell you

What sets the Idea Duel apart from a survey?

In a survey, people tick your predefined answers.

  • In the Idea Duel they write their own

  • Everyone else weighs them in direct comparison

  • That is how you also learn what nobody would have asked about

Twenty minutes is enough

We look at what you need to decide and tell you whether a dialogue will get you there.
