Impact Explorer™ has been designed as a qualitative tool for gathering opinion on a wide range of subjects. It is flexible, straightforward and easy to use. It is ideal for working with small groups, as a focus for debate, but it can also be used with much larger groups – up to at least 250 people - as a means of taking a quick "straw poll" at the start of a debate for instance. The software lets participants vote on and rank ideas anonymously, as well as inviting opinions on two-dimensional assessments such as the probability and likely impact of risk events, cost / benefit analysis or other such common requirements.
Impact Explorer™ works purely with qualitative data (ideas) which can be entered directly into the software, pasted in from the clipboard, loaded from file, or imported directly from Decision Explorer®. Decision Explorer® is an ideas mapping package, used to make explicit and explore the relationships between ideas.
When facilitating a workshop, Impact Explorer™ helps you to manage data effectively and (optionally) provide participants with a clear picture of the different opinions held by everyone in the room. Using Impact Explorer™ the process of gathering opinions about issues becomes much simpler. Participants express their views anonymously, so that issues can be raised in a non-critical and non-confrontational manner.
