Meeting / Conference / Convention Facilitation
Whether on the Internet or in person, TAGS-enabled meetings deliver a more focused, inclusive and less adversarial environment than traditional meetings. This is also true for collecting/organizing data in large scale meetings like conferences and conventions.

Online Mediation
Whether for traditional or interest-based negotiations in person or remote, TAGS enhances both the process and its outcome

Online Meetings
In a secure environment, a suite of electronic tools allows for effective dialogue, clear capture of information, and opportunity to make progress far beyond manual methods.

Online Surveys
We create custom surveys to examine pre-bargaining issues, LMC/LMF committee effectiveness, poll practitioners and/or employees on workplace problems and possible solutions, strategic planning and have used TAGS tech in school systems to address issues with “bullying”.

Strategic Planning & Focus Group Surveys
Instead of waiting for the next meeting, TAGS moves the strategic planning process online, and makes focus groups more effective.
