Technology Consulting

For meetings that utilize audience participation keypads, we offer consulting to ensure clients get maximum value from their technology use. The truth is, we are a unique national provider of cutting-edge meeting technology solutions with the expertise to use them effectively. A major portion of our APT business comes from clients that have used keypads in the past but weren't satisfied with the integration advice they received. Some components of our approach:

  • Goal setting advice — If you don't know why you want to use APT, you won't get much value from it. Outlining goals provides a critical foundation for working with presenters.
  • Applications advice — Once you know your goals, you need the "how" to achieve them, through strategic use of pre-programmed and impromptu questions. As a company with extensive experience planning meeting agendas, Moss Cairns is ideally suited to provide you this advice.
  • Briefing materials for presenters/presenter communications — For programs with multiple presenters, effective communications in using APT is a must or your investment value is diluted. We believe our strong skills in working with presenters are the most important component of our value-added advantage.
  • Question development/editing — The crux of APT use is what you ask. We can help jump-start question development with effective models from the past. And, to ensure quality control, we review EVERY question you and your presenters design, compiling them into an easy-to-read interactive script.
  • On-site assistance with presentersWe often include a consultant on site to help presenters/facilitators use APT well. This is especially important in the first several meetings of a longer series or when speakers can't be reached to develop questions beforehand.
  • Program facilitation — We have extensive experience in facilitating interactive meetings and often work in conjunction with client conveners, frequently when the client is using APT for the first time.
  • Data consultation — How will you use the data you've collected? We'll provide advice, strategies and report models to take the value of APT beyond the meeting site.
