 The Culminis Compass - September  2004

 

Culminis Requests your Opinion
September 1, 2004
Team Culminis

Culminis enjoys providing user groups and their members with exclusive product and service discounts, giveaways, and special event opportunities. In order to keep these opportunities available, we need to obtain feedback on us and our sponsors.

The following surveys were first published in the end of August and Leaders were emailed the survey information at that time. If you have not taken a survey yet, please take the time to fill out the survey appropriate for you (no login required):
Leaders Only: Microsoft Satisfaction Survey

User Group Members: Microsoft Satisfaction Survey


Leadership Survey

Culminis has published 2 leadership surveys that we encourage leaders to fill out (it requires a login to Culminis Connections). Each survey takes, on average, less than 5 minutes to fill out.

"Leader Survey - Time Flies"

"Leader Survey - Value Rates"


We will be using the data to understand Member Organization Leaders' needs. The data analysis resulting from submitted responses will serve as a basis for planning and development within Culminis to continue adding value to our 6 pillars of support. Public results will be posted in next month's newsletter.
