Course Overview

Most disappointing results in customer needs survey design trace back to an audience defined too broadly. Attribution in survey design is imperfect; that is not a reason to stop measuring it. The difficulty is not agreeing that this part of marketing and commercial practice matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in customer needs survey design before they become incidents. Participants who influence this aspect of marketing and commercial practice without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better survey design is rarely technical. Participants test their assumptions about customer needs survey design against scenarios designed to break weak ones. The course gives participants a defensible structure for survey design and the judgement to adapt it. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on the practice within marketing and commercial practice ready to put in front of a decision maker.
