We're famous!
When you need to work out how to save £100bn it might be wise to ask a few hundred people. But how do you do that in a rational manner on live TV? Krishnan Guru-Murthy used TurningPoint and along the way demonstrated that it will work seamlessly when you need to bring together a larger group than normal. If you don't think this applies to you then what do you do in your assembles, PTA sessions, combined classes, group AGMs, regional team meetings, divisional meetings, quiz nights, staff gatherings, school plays, research projects, large lectures, consultancy sessions, (okay we're running out of breath now, but what we're really trying to say is think bigger!)
We're more than happy to help you prepare for such an event. All you have to do is pick up the phone in advance and ask for some advice. And remember, we don't charge for friendly chats.
Get started by reading more and watching the programme here.

A new Shameless Plug, all the way from China... Nitin Parmar from the University of Bath is a Shameless man. And a Shameless man always travels with a TurningPoint handset, just in case there's an opportunity to share an opinion somewhere. or maybe film a Shameless Plug.
For his efforts we will be sending over a little goody bag full of stuff for Nitin and his colleagues.
Once you've watched Nitin's video and Tweeted or Facebooked it, why not film, write, photograph, or capture in some other way, your own? Interested? Find out more here. |
