GDSS-based meeting tools support each stage of a well-run meeting. The result is a combination of the best aspects of face-to-face interaction with exceptional levels of participation and productivity.

 GDSS support the following meeting steps:

• Plan - custom interactive agenda creation with topics and subtopics
• Generate Ideas - brainstorming tool for fast idea generation (be it attributed or anonymous)
• Converge - categorizing tool for organizing and synthesizing ideas
• Prioritize - sophisticated voting tool for prioritizing, decision making and consensus building
• Document - report and export tools for documentation, communication and further collaboration

 Imagine a meeting using GDSS. You need to meet with your key managers to review the strategic plan that will guide your organization over the next few years. Everyone has left his work on his desk to attend this important meeting so time and focus are the essence.

 Each participant has a laptop, with a web browser opened to the meeting agenda. The first topic of the agenda is to brainstorm the challenges and issues associated with implementing the plan. Everybody types in their ideas in parallel and they are captured on a shared electronic database. Input is anonymous so ideas flow freely. After a few minutes, you lead the group in a verbal discussion of the ideas and organize them into categories on the flipchart.

 Now you are ready to prioritize and make decisions. You quickly transform the electronic flip chart into a ballot and distribute it to the group. They vote on the urgency and impact of the ideas, and all the results are immediately displayed on each screen. With this prioritized list each manager leaves with a complete set of meeting notes. The meeting takes an hour instead of an entire afternoon and everyone is back in their offices focusing on business at hand.
