Imagine a tool that doesn't just collect data, but actively guides your organization towards smarter, more informed decisions.

On first encounter it's tempting to compare Wizer to a survey tool. After all, both involve gathering insights from groups. But to reduce Wizer to a survey tool is to miss its true potential and purpose. Wizer is so much more—it's a dynamic decision-making platform that helps organizations go beyond reflection and into action.

This isn't just another way to collect opinions. It's a paradigm shift in how we approach collective intelligence and decision-making. Let's explore why Wizer stands apart in a world saturated with data collection tools. Surveys vs. Actionable Insights

Traditional surveys are designed for reflection. You send out a questionnaire, collect responses, and then interpret them after the fact. The results provide you with a snapshot of opinions or experiences, but they often lack the capacity for immediate action. Once the data is in, the process ends, and the real work of decision-making begins.

Wizer, on the other hand, is built for action. It goes beyond simple data collection to provide:

  1. Intelligent Panel Selection: Wizer's recommendation engine actively helps you find the right people for each decision. It identifies individuals with the optimal mix of perspectives, skills, and expertise, ensuring a well-rounded and relevant panel.

  2. Real-time Panel Strength Indicator: Unlike surveys where you hope for the best, Wizer provides a live indicator of your panel's strength. This feature ensures you have the right balance of voices before moving forward with a decision.

  3. Actionable Insights: Instead of simply gathering opinions, Wizer actively helps you make decisions in real-time, with insights that guide you toward the next step.

By incorporating these advanced features, Wizer transforms the process of gathering insights into a dynamic, action-oriented experience. Rather than reflecting on past behaviors or attitudes, Wizer is all about driving outcomes and empowering organizations to make informed decisions quickly and confidently.

The Science of Panel Selection

Wizer's recommendation engine significantly enhances the decision-making process:

  • Utilizes machine learning & algorithms to analyze user profiles, expertise, and decision-making history

Real-world impact: Our client used Wizer to assemble a diverse panel for a product launch decision, resulting in identifying a crucial market segment they had previously overlooked.

Dynamic Decision Strength Indicator: Ensuring Quality at Every Step

The decision strength indicator is more than a simple metric:

  • Provides real-time feedback on panel composition and engagement

  • Offers suggestions for improving panel strength (e.g., "Adding an expert in X would increase your panel quality - going for red to green")

  • Allows for mid-process adjustments to optimize decision quality

Case study: An Association used this feature to identify new voices and work with its external stakeholders to develop a National Strategy.
