12.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:red'>Thomas – the voting procedure I used
(which is also in my book) was actually taken from Andrew Delbec and the so
called Nominal Group Process. It uses a weighted score (assign 10 to your
highest, 9,8,7 etc) When this is done on a computer, which we have done, it is
very simple and efficient. And with the software we used, the results came out
as bar graphs, which made all the engineers very happy. The details, as I said
are in The User’s Guide.</span></font></p>

Space </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>I am having discussions with a
friend of mine who runs a company which does surveys for companies in a quite
interesting and easy way – by using Internet. In September I will
facilitate an OST-meeting with about 350 people – only 5-6 hours. I would
like to try letting the participants have the documentation sent and allowing
time for reading before voting on which are most important to them. </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>A couple of times I´ve let
participants answer via email – which of course is a lot of work. So in
order to do one less thing I´d like to try this software which we very easily
can modify to meet our needs.</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'> </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>My question is: What
recommendations/ideas do you have for the voting. When I use stickies in
physical voting (which I´ve done with quite large groups) I usually give them
something like 5 votes to use as they like – all five on one issue or
spread out. This could be one alternative for this software too. I know some of
you let people put 10 votes on the top one, 9 on the second most important and
so on until 1. </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 face=Arial><span

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>So I would appreciate pros and cons
that you see/have experienced about these methods and any other suggestions.</span></font></p>
