The development and application of an idea consolidation tool used in conjunction with idea generation software at the University of Arizona is described. The tool groups comments generated by meeting participants, based upon identical stemmed content keywords in each comment or idea. Results show that the tool groups comments in less than five percent of the time required by the current manual process and has nearly perfect recall and precision compared to the 82.6% recall and 73.1% precision of manual groupings.
