Turning Survey Data into Strategic Action
|
Thursday, February 16, 2012

Why is it so hard to turn survey data into strategic action? Many survey practitioners, leaders, and managers know the basic steps of action research: diagnose issues based on the data; plan for change; take action, and evaluate progress.

During the next Metro meeting, Dr. Patrick Hyland, Director of Research & Development at Sirota Survey Intelligence, will provide an overview of Sirota’s new Action Catalyst model, share best practices, and discuss common stumbling blocks that many organizations face when they try to turn their data into action.
