Tools

Our tools

Two solutions designed by Upperion, born from our field assignments: one to capture what is said in workshops, the other to explore possible futures.

Participatory workshops

Covoce

Every table has a voice. Covoce brings them together.

Visit the website covoce.fr

A support system for participatory workshops: a stand-alone recorder on each table captures the discussion, a control-room studio transcribes and summarises it during the break, and prepares the plenary debrief. Everything happens on site: the models run on the control-room computer, no recording is sent to an online service, and audio files can be deleted at the end of the workshop.

What the tool does

  • Covoce Pod: cable-free recorder on each table, works in noisy rooms
  • Covoce Studio: local transcription and summary, guided by your questions, PowerPoint export
  • Covoce Desk: a physical console to run the workshop without using the computer screen
  • Per-table summary in about twenty seconds, convergences and open points across tables
  • Optional turnkey workshops: design, facilitation, facilitator sheet, debrief

Who it is for

Committees, team seminars, design workshops and working groups of up to four tables; conferences, conventions, hackathons and citizen consultations with no table limit; local authorities and organisations running co-creative workshops.

Strategic foresight

ForesightRunner

Anticipate futures, decide today.

Visit the website foresightrunner.eu

A foresight tool that helps organisations explore possible scenarios, spot weak signals and prepare their decisions in the face of uncertainty. It implements the AHEAD methodology, funded by Horizon Europe, validated by eleven European interior ministries and adopted by DG Home. The aim: turn field experience into a roadmap you can defend before your hierarchy.
