Working together

Price is what you pay.
Cost is what you find out too late.

In 60+ dialogues, our clients didn’t know 8 of their stakeholders’ 10 most important topics on average.
Our guarantee: at least 5 of the top 10 will be new to you. Otherwise, we refund the dialogue.

From A to Z

Consulting and delivery

You don’t buy software or a licence. We do all the work, from the concept to the invitation and daily moderation through to presenting the results.

Your effort: three hours. Your participants need 10 minutes on average.

How it works

Decision-Making

The full picture. Before important decisions.

  • Top 10 for your topics

  • Consensus and dissent

  • Hypothesis check

  • Blind spots

  • Decision matrix

  • Segment analysis by your criteria

  • Management summaries for your topics

  • One-pagers for your boards

  • Communication to all participants

  • Leads from the dialogue

Effort

We bill in person-days, with a cost cap.

Our effort depends on the number of questions, the size of the stakeholder group, the segmentation and the languages.

You receive a quote with a binding cost cap in advance.

If you make decisions regularly, every follow-up dialogue costs less, because the concept and question structure are already in place.

Getting to know us

The Strategy Workshop. 3 hours.

We arrive with a fully developed concept, specific to your situation.

Together we sharpen the questions, the stakeholder group and the participation approach, and record your six hypotheses per question.

Then you decide whether a dialogue follows.

Fixed price. Can also be booked on its own. The concept is yours.

Insight Guarantee

We take on the risk and create added value for you.

In the Strategy Workshop, you name six assumptions per question that you expect. We mix them, concealed, among your stakeholders’ contributions. No one can tell they came from you.

We count the top ten of the ranking for each question. If on average at least 5 of them are new to you, your knowledge has doubled. If fewer, we refund the dialogue.

You keep the analysis either way.

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
