Pat Esslinger specializes in facilitating technology-enabled meetings, where each participant in the room is provided with a laptop computer on a self-contained portable network. One-at-a-time oral comments and facilitator's flip charts are largely replaced by simultaneous keyed-in comments and electronic big screen displays. 

 

This computer-aided facilitation:

 
bullet lets participants collaborate with each other or work alone, submitting ideas anonymously, and then share ideas with the entire group.
 
bullet accelerates and improves brainstorming and organizing ideas, leaving more time for members to discuss, develop, and assess the ideas.
 
bullet provides structure for evaluating ideas systematically, allowing participants to rate alternatives against a list of criteria and/or to allocate resources among the alternatives
 
bullet instantly analyzes the evaluations statistically and displays the results graphically.
 
bullet

creates a real-time permanent record of all input.
