The Vision Lab

Your people already have the answer.

Ask your team one question. Everyone votes on ideas, two at a time, in 30 seconds. Then the best ideas get better together, and someone is named to make them happen.

From a question to a decision, in four steps

1

Ask

Write one question and add a few starter ideas. Share one link in the places your people already read.

2

Vote

Everyone picks the better of two ideas, a few at a time. It takes about 30 seconds, and anyone can add an idea of their own.

3

Improve

The top ideas open up. People add how to make them better, tagged by team, and tap Helpful on the best suggestions.

4

Decide

Name an owner, a next step and a date for each idea going ahead. Everyone sees what was decided.

One question, any big conversation

Innovation

Open a real business problem to everyone. The best ideas surface from places you would not have looked.

Employee insight

A survey says how people feel. This shows what to do about it, from culture and values to remote working, ranked by the people who would feel the change.

Change and transformation

Before a reorganisation or a new strategy, hear what people would keep, stop and start, and bring them into the change.

Product and strategy priorities

Let staff, partners or a wider community rank feature requests and strategic options, across countries and time zones.

Built for teams that need an answer this week

Not every question needs a huge crowd. It needs the right people, a clear ranking and someone named to act. See a product team go from one question to owners and next steps.

Real questions, real outcomes

A premium drinks group

“What is one actionable idea that would bring our company values to life in the way we work?”

Run over one week after an all-hands meeting. The themes led to six cross-functional teams, a recognition programme and new training plans.

A global non-profit

“Over the next 12 months, what one action can our young leaders take to increase our impact?”

Run before a retreat, so the group arrived with ranked themes and spent the time on strategy instead of starting from a blank page.

A specialty pharmacy

“What one action would you take to make phone calls with customers easier and faster?”

The winning idea had support in every department, which made it easy to adopt. It is expected to save about $98,000 a year.

Built for the people who have to listen

CEO office

Hear the whole company, not the loudest voices. Send the question under your own name and logo, and give each leader a view of their own area.

Innovation and strategy

Find the ideas worth piloting. The crowd ranks them and groups them into themes, so you start with the ones people already back.

HR and People

Run a listening exercise people trust. It is anonymous, and the authors of winning ideas can choose to put their name to them at the end.

Consultancies and research firms

Run it for your clients under their name. You bring the method, they get a ranked, anonymous view of their own people.

People get involved because they can see it working

A countdown keeps the deadline in view. Authors see their own ideas climb. Reminder emails show the live numbers, so people come back for one more round.

Send it the way you already reach people: a line in the CEO’s email, a card on the intranet, a QR code at an offsite, or a text. Each link is tracked, so you can see which one worked.

Why people trust the result

Anonymous

Names appear only for the top ten ideas, only after the project ends, and only if the author says yes.

Hard to game

Personal links, vote caps and pacing stop one person pushing their own idea. Authors never see their own ideas in a vote.

Small groups protected

Results for a group of fewer than five people are never shown, so no one can be picked out.

Ask your people one question.

Try the voting yourself in thirty seconds, or set up a project of your own in a few minutes.
