Recurring Event Event Series: Project Results with People

Project Results with People: Making Surveys Work

April 28 @ 9:30 am - 5:00 pm

Can you really only ask once?

A survey or questionnaire is often an ideal tool to obtain and analyse data – whether from our staff, our customers or the general public. But are you sure you can draw watertight conclusions from the responses you receive? It all depends on your design, the questions you ask and, of course the number of people you can get to answer you. But you need to get it right first time, because people never respond to a second survey.

Introduction

Few people bother to take part in surveys these days, and even if they do the information you get at the end may leave gaping holes in your knowledge proving the whole exercise futile. Yet conducting a survey makes sense in this highly competitive world to gain priceless, actionable information about our customers, prospects, our organisation and staff and more. So how do ask the right questions and get the responses you need to derive accurate conclusions?

By the end of this course, you will be able to plan and conduct surveys and get responses that reveal clear, unambiguous information that you can actually use to make informed business decisions. 


Synopsis

effective survey with the relevant results, especially:
