Using OptionFinder® Technology ­ A Training Enhancement Tool

OptionFinder® is an electronic polling device that serves as a group decision support system during training. It is a combination of hand-held numeric keypads and computer software. The keypads are handed out to the participants during the training session and the facilitator uses the software to project onto a large screen a question or statement to the participants, and a numbered list of possible responses. The participants press the keypad number of the response that matches their opinion. The OptionFinder® software takes the keypad responses and instantly produces a graph of the results. The graph is then projected before the group for all to see.

Sepler & Associates uses OptionFinder® technology because it allows participants to explore sensitive issues while retaining their anonymity and personal comfort. Participants view the tallied responses for group observation and discussion. This technology is used early in the training program to establish baseline opinion data from the group, and to validate the range of participant perspectives, experiences and concerns.
