Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.
Rypple is a web-based app that makes it easy to gather anonymous feedback quickly.
I signed up (free), input the names of five friends, and selected five questions to ask. Rypple sends out a question a week. Typical interchange:
You asked: What would make my presentation decks clearer?
Feedback from friends:
- make your graphics larger, and not try to cram so many images on them (often small stuff tucked in that’s hard to read)
- I think they are visually very clear when you look at them as you present them, but without you there, they are virtually meaningless. What they need is a commentary.
Complete this action (This one’s my action to take.)
Make presentations more logical, connect the dots, step-by-step. Enlarge and simplify graphics. Perhaps add commentary.
This one’s worth exploring.
Less is more.

I’ve been using Rypple for several months now at work- it’s a fantastic way to get and track feedback on a regular basis. One of their new paid products- Touchbase, is a replacement for performance management software and focuses on providing people with structured feedback and goal setting in 15 minute sessions. This is a great example of technology helping making life easier for managers and employees.
