Section 0903Voice of the CustomerSpring 2013 SurveyHarry B. Rowe, June 2013
Context • Section membership continues to fall, albeit perhaps more slowly. • Membership at the end of June 2013 was 707. • Attendance at general meetings averages less than 6% of membership. • Average attendance in 2013 was 39.
Member Survey • Surveys were sent to 629 recipients, 561 paid and 68 unpaid. (Down from 643 in Fall 2012) • Received 90 complete and 14 partial responses. • Response rate was 14.3%, down marginally from 15.1% in 2012. • No unpaid members responded.
Survey Results • Four major metrics for ASQ member satisfaction and loyalty: • Satisfaction • Likelihood to renew • Likelihood to recommend • Perceived value • Results are reported as “top-two box” score. (Proportion of recipients selecting one of the top two responses.)
Survey Results • In viewing this information, remember that the 3 Sigma Margin of Error in a survey of this size is approximately +/- 15 points.
Conclusions • On the four metrics most important to ASQ, there was no statistically significant change.
Conclusions • Only three identifiable segments were observed: • Those with 0-7 years in Quality were significantly less satisfied than those with more experience. • Those who attended one or more section meetings were significantly more satisfied than those who did not. • Persons holding certifications were significantly more likely to respond to the survey than those who do not.
Conclusions • In the2011 Survey, respondents under 40 were significantly less satisfied than those 40 and over. • In the Fall 2012 survey, respondents under 50 were significantly less satisfied than those fifty and over. • In 2013 the Chi-Squared test does not reject independence for any age group.
Section Touch Points • Members were also asked to rate their satisfaction with various section “touch points”: • Local Certification Exams • Outreach programs like Scholarships • Leadership development opportunities • General meetings • Web site • Certification refresher classes • LinkedIn group
Conclusions • While there were nominal improvements in most categories, most were within the margin of error. • Significant improvements were noted in leadership development and the web site. • A significant decline was noted in recertification classes.
