Jan. 13th Webinar: New Tools for the Analysis of Citizen Satisfaction Surveys

This webinar will demonstrate how to use a set of analytical tools from market research, including key-driver analysis and importance-performance analysis, to extract more insight from citizen satisfaction surveys.Specifically, these techniques reveal what specific services or aspects of a service matter most to citizens and suggest where to focus fine-tuning or performance improvement efforts.The tools are general and can be applied in various public service or program areas, including municipal services, transportation, health services, education, human services, and other areas.

Gregg G. Van Ryzin, PhD, is an Associate Professor in the School of Public Affairs and Administration at Rutgers University-Newark. Dr. Van Ryzin's research focuses on the use of surveys and other social science methods to measure the performance of government and nonprofit organizations and to evaluate program outcomes. He also conducts research on citizen satisfaction with public services and other public attitudes toward government.

Wanted: Your Performance Measures
What metrics have you used to evaluate your work?
Have you ever wished you could see what others have done in similar situations?


PPMRN is compiling a comprehensive database of performance measures to be a source of information and inspiration for others wanting to create high-quality measures. We are asking agencies, towns, cities, counties, and states to send us the performance measures they have used so that we may create a reference for the performance measurement community. We can attribute the submitted information to the contributing organizations, or keep its origin confidential.

Help others benefit from your experience and expertise. Please send us your measures, and any questions you have about the project, to ppmrn@andromeda.rutgers.edu.
