“Leading-edge companies are moving beyond Moneyball and generating a wealth of new business model innovations using a combination of advanced analytics and collective organizational intelligence. We propose building a 9Lenses app that directly measures the variables of our model – using collective intelligence to guide and improve the simulation." – Research Paper: Pattern-Based Business Model Simulation

“You all are VERY focused on our opinions and that is VERY empowering. Thank you!!”
“Few good questions is all it takes to know / get the insight on what a user thinks.”
“I'm just grateful we're asking these question to our employees.” “Got the chance to convey my opinion about
the account, helped to realize success steps of the account.”
“I had the opportunity to dig as deep as I felt appropriate.”
“Thank you for asking the tough questions that make you vulnerable. It is through
processes like this with open and honest dialogue where true progress can be made.”
“Tough, but thought provoking! Glad to be asked!”
“They pushed me to think at a bigger-picture level than usually necessary in my day-to-day
job.” “I appreciate the opportunity to express thoughts, rather than just respond to multiple
choice questions (as in surveys past).”
3. Action > “Thanks”
