Meetings with Hundreds or Thousands
What's the best way to ask thousands of employees an open-ended question during a town hall?
Direct Answer
The best way is to pose the question to everyone simultaneously, gather their responses anonymously and in writing, and let the room vote to prioritize the results. This avoids the filter layers and social pressures that turn town halls into corporate theater.
Why It Matters
Predefined options miss the real issues, while open microphones invite safe, sanitized questions or personal complaints that do not represent the group.
How Deciqe Approaches It
Deciqe replaces town hall Q&A with a structured prioritization loop. By allowing the entire audience to submit and vote on open-ended questions live, leadership can focus their response on what the organization collectively believes is the most critical issue, building trust through transparency.
