We used dotmocracy tools to complete a strategic planning exercise we had begun with an online survey prior to the conference. The sheets allowed us to focus the room's attention on 8 key ideas for the association, and to come to agreement on how to prioritize that list.

We used the dotmocracy tools for association strategic planning at our recent conference in Vancouver. We worked with 8 key ideas for PWAC priorities, previously identified through an online survey, and had a great response from the close to 80 people in the room.
Your system lends itself to such simple tabulation of the room's overall preferences. We were able to get the full results of the "voting" back to participants and to our wider membership the day after we returned from the conference. We now have a fully, democratically prioritized list of "PWAC should" suggestions for our Board to consider. It is an incredibly effective tool for us, and we'll be using it again.
