Citizens & Politics

The Digital Landsgemeinde.

You see what really moves the population, before you decide.

Only a fraction shows up at the information evening, and it is usually the same people. The participation process runs correctly, yet what stands at the end is a result that hardly anyone accepts as the voice of the population.

With us, taking part takes ten minutes, anonymously and at any time of day. Participants contribute arguments and weigh them against each other, without likes and without noise. Identities are protected, organised groups cannot distort the result. At the end there are validated majority and minority positions, in the words of those affected.

Three hours of effort for your administration. We do the rest.

In 21 days: the priorities of the population, ordered and documented. Under Swiss data protection law and GDPR. Data held in Switzerland.

1. We activate the population

The Idea Duel is fun. Two ideas, one click, and you want to know what the others think. Anonymous, on the phone, without a complicated questionnaire. That is how sixteen-year-olds and eighty-year-olds get a say.

2. Legitimacy for your decision

You walk into the council meeting with the validated position of the population. In the end, more people stand behind the decision than the few dozen in the hall.

3. Resolve resistance early

Recognise conflicts while they can still be defused.

4. Lower the referendum risk

Those who were asked early collect signatures less often later.

Proven in: local planning · mobility · site development · school facility planning · energy & climate · referendums

Leadership Dialogue

Strategy & Direction

The town hall where everyone actually speaks.

Your whole organisation thinks with you, before you decide.

Between you and the truth lie layers of hierarchy. Each one filters and smooths, until only the tame version reaches the top.

We turn that around. Your people think with you anonymously and as equals, and you decide on the basis of the full picture, before the budget is committed.

Three hours of effort for your executive board. We do the rest.

In 21 days: blind spots visible, priorities ordered, consensus documented.

1. Backing, before you decide

In front of the board, the validated position of your organisation stands behind you, with the arguments to support it.

2. You see what you would otherwise learn too late

What nobody says out loud appears in no KPI, until it hits you as a surprise. These are the blind spots the dialogue brings to light.

3. Decisions that hold

Before the resolution, you know where consensus carries and where resistance sits. Carried, not merely nodded through.

4. A radar, not a snapshot

The annual survey shows yesterday's state. Under a framework mandate we repeat the dialogue at fixed intervals, and you see shifts as they emerge.

Proven in: strategy · mission statement · post-merger · reorganisation · CEO onboarding

Cultural Dialogue

Culture & Retention

The honest employee conversation with everyone at once.

You see what lies behind frustration, resistance and resignations.

Engagement scores tell you that something is wrong. The reason they often leave out. We make it visible, anonymously and unfiltered. Nobody can steer which arguments carry weight.

Three hours of effort for you and your HR team. We do the rest.

In 21 days: the real causes, ordered by weight and documented.

1. The reason, while you can still act on it

Why someone really leaves, you otherwise learn only in the exit interview. Here you see it while the person is still with you.

2. Retention becomes manageable

You know what keeps your people, and you can strengthen it deliberately.

3. Defensible in the boardroom

«We have a feeling» becomes «Our organisation says clearly», with validated data behind it.

4. Change under control

Whether a reorganisation or merger lands in the culture often shows too late. Under a framework mandate we repeat the dialogue at fixed intervals, and you see it while something can still be changed.

Proven in: retention · culture diagnostics · change support · leadership culture · speak-up · post-merger integration

Customer Dialogue

Market & Customers

The focus group with the entire market.

You see which arguments convince and which ones cost you trust, before the market delivers its verdict.

Your customers or members weigh the arguments blindly against each other. What wins, wins on its own merit, without leading questions and without a loud minority. We formulate the questions so that no answer is suggested, and we moderate the dialogue daily.

Three hours of effort for you and your marketing team. We do the rest.

In 21 days: why they buy, why they hesitate, why they leave.

1. Test your messages before the budget runs

The campaign lands because the arguments have already survived the duel.

2. The reason behind the NPS

You know the number. What drives it, only the dialogue tells you.

3. Understand churn before it happens

Doubts become visible while the customer is still with you.

4. Sharpen your offering

Your customers decide for themselves what is worth the price.

Proven in: understanding customer needs · offering & assortment · customer loyalty · members & associations · editorial & content · customer feedback
