	Integration into Strategic Programme	Events and Market Research are part of your overall strategic planning and operations, and should be integrated into it. im5's experience in ARS methodology can ensure smooth integration.
	Programme Development and Question Development	Too long a question can slow a meeting down, while insufficient choices can limit the expression of opinion. Let im5 work with you to find the best choice, and enable you to achieve your goals and objectives. Existing multimedia materials such as video or CD-ROM based material can have add-on question packages developed, or a lare training programme can be prepared with the questions.
	Question Design and Graphics	Single choice, multiple choice, vote, before/ after, cross tabulation. Each has their place in the programme, and im5 can advise on the selection. Company logos can be included, as well as corporate colour schemes to match other elements of the event, as well as audio, video and other graphic elements.
	Speaker and Moderator Explanations	The best system in the world is no use if the users do not understand how it works. im5 can work with your speakers and moderators to explain the system, develop questions, and formulate a range of responses. With open, realtime questions to audiences, unexpected responses occasionally occur, and the speaker and moderator must be able to handle them confidently.
