A group-driven computer-aided decision system involves a meeting within a room of participants who express their ideas anonymously on a computer network. Participants type their comments, reactions, or evaluations on their individual computer keyboards. The input is projected on a large screen at the front of the room for all to see. Because participation is anonymous and no one person is able to dominate the meeting on the basis of status or personality, everyone feels free to participate.
