I agree with Allan and Kerry and Ben. The survey technology, while catchy
and sexy and pretty to look at and all that, is, in my view, fundamentally
flawed. There needs to be a way to compress similar answers together and
revote or reweigh the answers.
I've done work in facilitation and one common technique in determining
causes or solutions to problems is to brainstorm up lots of possible
answers. But after you have generated that massive list, you need to
compress it down to something workable. You do that BEFORE you let people
vote on which ones are causative.
That step is lacking and thus you're not going to get good answers. That was
taught in facilitation 101.
Another example from an older survey about buying habits. It asked "where do
you get your LEGO", and the already input choices shown me when I voted were
"walmart", "WalMart" , "Kmart" , "K-Mart", and "K-Mart and Walmart". Which
of those 5 should I have picked? What difference is there, really, between
"walmart" and "WalMart" ???
Dump this company's sexy technology (which wasn't thought out well, it's
just some dotcommers half baked idea) and do a serious effort to compress
answers. Or realise that you're not going to get good data.
