FarSightPro™ Group Decision Support System
A significant success factor of the FarSight Advanced Innovation Methodology is its ability to separate creative Idea Generation from creative Idea Evaluation. Plus, in order for any solution or strategy to implemented successfully, everyone involved must have consensus, buy-in and commitment around the most important ideas. The FarsightPro™ group decision support software ensures all perspectives are considered when evaluating the various ideas. FarSightPro™ enables non-emotional discussions about areas of varying opinions and results in commitment from the entire group. FarSightPro™ presents a visual picture of the importance, impact or value of ideas as compared to each idea’s current performance or satisfaction. Ideas can be separated as short, mid and long term opportunities, expectations or a potential waste of resources.
Of course, critical success criteria for evaluation require creative thinking. FarSight uses its process of imaginative thinking and robust evaluation throughout the innovation process to identify success criteria, innovative ideas and alternatives and even potential problems for contingency planning.
