Allocate fictional £100m?

This is the main idea that emerged from our brief brainstorm.

If we take the TFN model, have 10 minute pitches, 5 minute questions, then break for mingling and voting, with the speakers standing behind their 'stalls', which have a receptical for the counters representing cash, we can easily see the results.

E.g. we have a set of tubes, gold coins as £100k , everyone gets £500k to allocate between the different approaches.

Hopefully this will avoid the problme of the 'wrong' winner emerging (e.g. if we had a debate, the issue would be if the un-ethical viewpoint won.

The advantage here is that we come accross as doing all of them - the sum up will be "you've allocated between these competing strategies, as we do on a daily basis, applying expert analysis to complex problmes, the world isn't black and white and we need co-operation and diversification to 'save the world'?

allows good mingling time
