Key Findings 35
Key Findings Top Priorities Top Priority areas are 1) Fitness and 2) Outdoor Recreation Fitness Within Fitness, initial emphasis should be on low scoring (i.e., 60s) attributes under Programs. Fitness Facilities also need improvement. Fitness is the sole Top Priority area for those less than 25 years old. Outdoor Recreation Within Outdoor Recreation, primary focus should be on Rental Equipment. Desired Outcomes Of the four Desired Outcomes, MWR Satisfaction has the greatest impact on Readiness. 36
Next Steps 37
Next Steps Information Review Ensure that your decision makers, those responsible for each program, and those who are tasked with making program changes are familiar with the results Action Planning Set up action planning sessions to make sure that specific tasks and timelines are developed to address improvement opportunities Ensure that improvements that can be easily implemented (i.e., low cost, minimal effort) are made as soon as possible Survey Enhancements Learnings from the current survey will improve the quality of the next wave 38

A Note About Score Calculation • Attributes (questions on the survey) are typically answered on a 1-10 scale • Social science research shows 7-10 response categories are optimal • Customers are familiar with a 10 point scale • Before being reported, scores are transformed from a 1-10 to a 0-100 scale • The transformation is strictly algebraic; e.g. • The 0-100 scale simplifies reporting: • Often no need to report many, if any, decimal places • 0-100 scale is useful as a management tool Orig.

Deriving Impacts • Remember high school algebra? The general formula for a line is: y = mx + b • The basic idea is that x is a “cause” and y is an “effect”, and m represents the slope of the line – summarizing the relationship between x & y • CFI Group uses a sophisticated variation of the advanced statistical tool, Partial Least Squares (PLS) Regression, to determine impacts when many different causes (i.e., quality components) simultaneously effect an outcome (e.g., Customer Satisfaction)
