Comments:
To instigate the enhancement process an informal survey process was instigated at the listserv and the results briefly summarized and collated for the ug (usergroup) to confirm and stimiulate future survey use for similar purposes. We received immediate vendor response to our survey which was delivered two ways:
email and hardcopy tally
Survey was limited necessarily to current users and no one else, but per other interested parties the results would have been third party confirmation of the need for enhancement or desire for functionality from users.
Simply states it is a quantification of the general market research principles available to anyone using simple web based free software survey tools like monkeysurvey.com
After using this for graduate coursework in leadership studies I saw that the obvious application is many and all service situations was very well suited to current vendor/user dialogues and would serve as a wiki methodology when combined with the quick sharing of the blogspots such as this one. I would be please to let you know of this basis method, but it is really just 4 steps
survey of needs/issues
collection and assessment
Information communication
Results sharing with both vendor and user group
Results are mostly positive, because you are giving both parties what they need information to be best practice oriented synergystics in product development using maximum opinion permitted by blogging.
