When & Where to Use ARS
ARS is best utilized when you are seeking to engage meeting participants, solicit feedback, test knowledge or take your event to the next level. If your goal is to move participants forward as a unified group and overcome the changes and challenges faced by companies today there is nothing more empowering than allowing them to be a part of the decision-making process.

When audience members are asked to prioritize a list of items and witness first hand the reasons why items move to the top and others fall to the wayside, 'buy-in' dramatically increases. Research shows that individuals who are a part of the process, are more willing to own the results and take the steps necessary to move an objective forward.
“Top reasons for bringing ARS into a corporate setting include faster decision making, improved attentiveness, gauging understanding of key points - or actual testing (a system can be set up to track individual responses) - and sometimes creation of a livelier meeting.”
