Survey 3: Strengths & Weaknesses of Businesses
This survey may help identify strengths and weaknesses of your business. If you run a business of any type and size, we invite you to complete this questionnaire. When responding, try to be honest and unbiased, and award very high or low ratings only where fully justified. Take a note of your rating for each question as you proceed and, when finished, compare them with the overall results.
Here is the questionnaire and latest results. If you don't run a business, you can see the latest results using the link at the very bottom of the questionnaire without having to complete it.
If you identify any exceptional results, think very carefully about resolving underlying weaknesses or capitalizing on the strengths - see Developing a Strategic Business Plan and Online Strategic Planner.
Survey 2: Preparing a Business Plan
This survey explores a series of highly practical issues relating to the preparation of a business plan. If you are compiling a plan or have prepared one in the past, we invite you to complete the questionnaire and pass on your experiences and views to others.
Go now to the questionnaire & latest results. If you have never prepared a plan, you can access the latest results using the link at the very bottom of the questionnaire without having to complete it.
See the white papers on Insights in Business Planning for a detailed analysis and assessment of preliminary survey findings and Writing a Business Plan for guidance on preparing a plan.
We plan to run further regular surveys and progressively we'll post details of previous surveys here.
