Dotmocracy is similar to other facilitation techniques such as "multi-voting", “dot-voting”, “sticky-dot voting” and “sticker voting”. However, there are quite important differences between "advanced dotmocracy" and traditional dot voting methods, since advanced dotmocracy should be more efficient in providing the greatest opportunity for identifying the answer with the highest possible level of agreement.

Term2.png DOTMOCRACY/SPEED GEEKING
Established facilitation method for prioritizing ideas among a number of people. In this process participants put dots (usually using stickers) next to written ideas to express their preferences.

Dotmocracy is similar to other facilitation techniques such as "multi-voting", “dot-voting”, “sticky-dot voting” and “sticker voting”. However, there are quite important differences between "dotmocracy" and traditional dot voting methods, since dotmocracy should be more efficient in providing the greatest opportunity for identifying the answer with the highest possible level of agreement.

Dotmocracy can be helpful for:

  1. recognizing priorities of all participants (even from the quite and shy ones);
  2. empowering the group;
  3. finding solutions to a problem while avoiding power dynamics;
  4. providing results about the group's collective preferences;
  5. supporting friendly discussions that can easily lead to practical conclusions.[1]
