Key features

Easy to use and fast

TurningPoint is so quick and easy to use that it feels safe to use in even very large venues with hundreds of delegates.

Ranking Wizard helps you compare answers

The Ranking Wizard is a tool within TurningPoint, which helps you measure items on a list against up to three criteria. All you do is tell TurningPoint what your criteria are, for example, how should your company spend its budget next year? On more staff, better advertising, or on more corporate entertainment? You can ask your team to rate these on the criteria of cost and benefit in revenue, and TurningPoint will generate a series of questions for you to ask.

All graphs are hidden so you get a summary graph on the very last slide with the results clearly shown.

Merge Wizard combines different results in one data source

If your company has multiple offices or runs multiple events, you can ask questions many times to different groups and then merge the results into one simple spreadsheet.

Plan for changes of tack in advance

If you have time you can prepare for the various possible directions that the presentation could go based on the possible answer options. The Conditional Branching Wizard helps presenters to tailor the direction of the presentation based on audience feedback.

Spontaneous questions allow you to work on the fly

As presentations progress, and as feedback is received using TurningPoint, many speakers may want to divert from their original content. The flexibility of TurningPoint lets you add a new slide on the fly and follow the new route easily, making the presentation even more relevant and impressive.

Two way communication – staff loyalty

TurningPoint is a useful tool for improving employee relations by allowing them to tell you what they think about your company policies honestly and if appropriate, anonymously. It is also an effective way of assessing the effectiveness of staff training programmes, by testing employee retention of information and understanding during and following training courses.

Individual analysis or complete anonymity – the choice is yours

The TurningPoint participant lists allow you to analyse and assess individual members of staff during tests or training sessions, but the option of completely anonymous answering can get more honest information from people. TurningPoint gives companies two routes to find the truth more easily.

TurningPoint demographics help you track group performance

TurningPoint participants can be assigned to any group description of your choice. For example, if you want to compare performance between two different branch offices or new starters and experienced workers, you can do so with minimal preparation.

Demographics allow pin-point targeting

At larger conferences and live events where many potential customers can be questioned in one place, the introduction of demographics into TurningPoint reports can create a better understanding of different groups and their opinions leading to a closer understanding of target markets and how they segment. Demographics allow companies to gain detailed understanding while the delegates still retain anonymity.

Flexible licence

TurningPoint is licensed to be installed anywhere, so anybody in the company can prepare their presentations or training sessions on their laptop without having to rely on having access to the company server or TurningPoint kit.

TurningPoint participant monitor

In a training situation the participant monitor feature gives trainers real time access to delegate performance during the training session. Trainers wanting to group the delegates by ability or to monitor individual attendees can do so instantly and discreetly.

TurningPoint reports

A TurningPoint report can be generated with a double mouse click following a meeting. Reports feature legends on pie charts and data points, and include formatting of fonts and cells to make everything easier to read.

Compatible with all computer interfaces

TurningPoint works with all brands of computer, PDA, interactive whiteboard or laptop, without having to pay extra license fees, so anyone can use it. The software can also be installed away from the office so you can even plan your meetings, training sessions or presentations at home.

vPad

TurningPoint’s unique vPad software can be used on an organisation’s existing computers and PDAs, so no specialist response devices are necessary.

Hardware setup is easy

Whatever your hardware choice, you will configure it in minutes using TurningPoint's hardware wizard. All ResponseCards now come with USB receivers, making them extremely simple to install.
