Resilience

Benefits

•   Rank different indicators easily and efficiently 
•   Quickly find points of convergent and divergent thinking in teams
•   Use as discussion point around divergences
•   Highly cost effective

Tip: management teams often spend hours debating issues before they take a vote.  Use this and other rating tools to determine where the disagreements are first and then focus only on these. You should find your workshops and meetings are far more efficient and rich in better learning as a result.

Disadvantages

• May produce considerable bias with small numbers of respondents
