Electronic Meeting System - EMS

Imagine a first date. Then image that date is happening virtually, with the people communicating through a video call. Next, rather than picuring a freeform conversation, with all its awkwardness and uncomfortable silences, envision a virtual call that includes a lot of get-to-know-you prompts, meant to get the pair talking to each other, hopefully cutting down on pointless small talk and getting to more meaningful conversations.

Finally, move all that out of the dating space and into the business world. You've got the Electronic Meeting System.

The EMS is a software program meant to move meetings along, encouraging creativity and problem-solving. It's a video conference call mixed with a team building exercise.
