Simplified Design
A simple two-page yet feature rich interactive online environment enables intuitive navigation and quick information gathering.
Creating Conversations that Matter
A Different Model
Real-world information gathering and decision-making is challenging: people have different perspectives and passionate opinions, political pressures can limit communication, dialogues can be difficult to initiate and sustain, and people have limited time.
The Mediem interactive platform is not a typical online discussion board, providing an alternative to online free-for-alls and systemic characteristics that are difficult to manage, add marginal value in terms of data, and often lead to counter-productive forum dynamics.
• All voices more likely to be heard in smaller groups
• Facilitators can easily manage conversation groups
• Interactive ‘opinion barometers’ measure proposed ideas, with an easily visible range of perspectives
• Advanced dialogue features help sustain challenging conversations and assist with getting past stuck points
