| CIRCLE
OF INFLUENCE
(Z
- AXIS)
|
A
third dimension that can illustrate on the same graph the
actual Control Status plotted in either dynamically growing
circles, the bigger the better the control or fixed to one
size and either can be colour coded according to either 3
colour RAG'ing or 4 colour Severity,
with GREEN as Effective and RED as Ineffective or Non-Existent. |
NO |
| ZONAL
OVERLAYS |
Each
cell can have its own colour and or message so you are able
to generate a Severity Grid with Red, Blue, Grey and Green
Zones to represent the Danger Zone, Higher, Medium and Lower
risk areas of the grid. This ensures the audience fully understands
where the important items to focus on are! |
NO |
|
BOUNDARIES |
Offers
the opportunity to identify a threshold between acceptable
and unacceptable results thus making an instant visual further
assisting the audience appreciation and understanding. |
NO |
| MATRIX

Using
the "Zonal Overlays" we can filter
on all those Risks in the "RED" Zone with a "RED" control
status, the major items. |
NO |
| GRID

| POWERPOINT
integration and multi-axis graphing! |
Intuitive
operation, adds to what you already know about PowerPoint,
easy to install, powerful and likely to be used more frequently
than other voting software because it is easy to learn and
easier to remember how to use! |
NO |
| POSTAL
VOTES and LIVE VOTES |
At
critical meetings absentees can provide their views on paper
or via email and these can be entered into ppvotematrix so that you can display at
the meeting or report on the combined views of the Live audience
and the Postal voters as one! |
NO |
| SIFTER/SORTER |
This
is very useful for taking a long list and involving the audience
in making a quick decision on what should/should not be included
in the review process. |
NO |
| DATA
COLLECTION BOXES |
ppvotematrix offers the opportunity to gather
information on each list item in up to 6 collection boxes.
This means that you can add to the List item description additional
information for instance on:
Points of Clarification or
Notes
Mitigating Actions
Improvement suggestions
Key Control Indicators
Embedded Monitors
Early warning indicators
Timeframe for action
or anything you like as you can label these boxes yourself
and everything collated is exportable to Excel or Word to
form part of the final report. |
NO |
| ALLOCATION
of OWNERS & SUB-LIST information |
This
allows you to enforce ownership at the point of review. We
can identify who the owners are and then allocate each list
item to a person or department. The sub-list option enables
the opportunity to register the ROOT CAUSE in Risk Workshops
and it could be useful for other events to record timeframe
or significance, although the possibilities are down to you
to define which makes it very flexible. |
NO |
| ADDING
NEW ITEMS at the Matrix or Average graphs and restarting the
Voting process! |
It
is very easy to add new items at the Matrix or Average graphs.
Simply press Insert and then type. Then select Vote New and
it will start voting, After votes have been collected, the
Matrix graph will appear with all the items from before and
the new items on it as well! |
NO |
| OVERLAP
LEGEND |
This
overcomes one of the biggest criticisms of other similar software.
Not plotting the averages precisely as they were always in
a square around the precise plot point. ppvotematrix
plots all items with the same average in the same spot and
then allocates it a *1 or *2 based on the 1st or
2nd Overlap point and then delivers a 'pop-up'
box listing all the items that are included in the overlap.
This remains on screen when printing the graph for future
reference. |
NO |
| Average
Graph Filtering |
ppvotematrix displays Red, Amber, Green bar charts with ease and offers the opportunity
to filter out those not required so that we can focus in on
say just the Red items! |
NO |
| SPELLCHECKERS

| BACKUP
& RESTORE generating Zip file |
Easy
to use, backs up the meeting folder into a standard zip file
format so it is very easy to send a backup of a meeting to
another user (or to the support hot-line if required) via
e-mail. |
NO |
| BANKING
of DATA and MERGING of multiple meetings |
If
you return from the meeting and someone says "let's run that
meeting again with the group in Utrecht" it is extremely easy to do: Simply
go to the file menu, data and select Bank.
When you
are ready to merge the two or more meetings we simply go to
File, Data, Merge and pick the meetings we want to merge! |
YES,
but not quite the same functionality. |
| RE-VOTING
on one assessment or multiple assessments |
This
could not be simpler! Select the item and using right mouse
choose between voting on a specific assessment or
deciding to revote from a particular assessment until the
last. |
YES |
|
DATA
EXPORT |
The
export capability to Excel has been enhanced to include a
feature that enables the user to enter specific meeting details
and also export the text data collected using the additional
data collection boxes. |
YES
and NO OptionFinder® does offer export but it does not offer customisation
or the added data from the collection boxes as it does not
support this feature.
