Strategy Measurement Survey

Strategy Measurement Survey

As strategic measurement systems have been growing in importance, my study has been compiling a comprehensive database on how they are used and how effective they have been. We believe this database will help companies to understand where they stand in this critical area.

If you work for a company outside of the consulting field or a government office, we would like to ask you to take a few minutes to complete this survey. To thank you for participating, we would be happy to send you a brief summary of the overall findings.

Your individual survey data are confidential and will not be released to anyone outside of eResearch Project.
