I would like to say a big thank you to all 1,650 people who took the time to complete this years Arras People Survey. This is now our third annual survey and each year we are getting a better response which helps us to pull data which is valid and current in the Project space.
I have found the exercise both thought provoking and challenging and hope that the extended report is of interest? This year is the first time that we have taken the level of detail to this level and I hope that the 53 pages of is not too much.
I look forward to feedback on the survey, which will help hone ideas for next year both in terms of the questions asked and the output style.
Happy reading and thanks again.
