Having a tool to eliminate groupthink can improve the decision making process in any company. There is so much benefit from simply giving each team member a canvas to express themselves without concern for "saying the wrong" thing. What smart business leader doesn't want to receive unbridled ideas and opinions from wherever they might come from. Finally, the VP and Receptionist are equalized, not for their titles, but for their thoughts.

Business owners and operators often forget that disruptive innovation and cultural change both start from the bottom up. Having an efficient and anonymous enterprise-wide listening and learning system - especially in today's world where significant portions of the workforce are remote - is critical both as an early warning system for intervention and course correction and as a method to avoid the concrete layers and "upstream sweetening" that often keep senior management from accurately assessing the health, morale, and growth opportunities embedded within their own companies.

We all spend so much time on these communication platforms trying to draw out real, honest feedback from people that strips out bias and makes people feel like they actually have a voice. Balloon actually gets at it, and it's unbelievable how simple it is to use.

Balloon gives us quantitative and qualitative data that helps inform our decision making, something that’s often elusive. It doesn’t just give us squishy data, it gives us relevant, practical feedback we can bring to our executive teams and our leaders.

I'm an introvert, so for many reasons, this product is amazing

Nekisa CooperVP Content at MasterClass

By asking my organization only four questions in the managed flight, I easily saved myself a week's worth of work. The way the Balloon team helped me phrase the questions really encouraged folks to not only voice their raw opinions but also suggest solutions.

Director and GM at AWS

Using Balloon with our content creator team helped us align fast, generate smart, unexpected ideas, and move from discussion to execution. Through the Flight, we reached clear consensus on a unifying video series theme, kicked off rollout immediately, and surfaced creative niche ideas. Just as importantly, Balloon helped build cohesion and trust within a newly formed group we now view as a true strategic asset. The clarity, momentum, and quality of thinking we achieved in a short amount of time was a direct result of Balloon.

Co-Founder & CEO of Club Money

It was nice when Balloon showed up and it was technology that was designed to make better decisions instead of just providing more information to make better decisions.
