Summary of 2008 EOSDIS User Survey & EOSDIS Outreach HDF & HDF-EOS Workshop Aurora, CO 10/16/2008 HDF & HDF-EOS Workshop Aurora, CO 10/16/2008

American Customer Satisfaction Index  ACSI is the #1 national economic indicator of customer satisfaction.  Over 40 industries and 200 organizations covering 45% of the U.S. economy use the ACSI.  Over 70 U.S. Federal Government agencies measure more than 120 programs/services using the ACSI.  The survey is conducted by CFI Group under a contract with the Department of Treasury's Federal Consulting Group, Executive Agent in government for the ACSI.  Department of Treasury works with OMB to ensure adherence to applicable Federal regulations such as the Privacy Act and the Paperwork Reduction Act.  ACSI is the #1 national economic indicator of customer satisfaction.  Over 40 industries and 200 organizations covering 45% of the U.S. economy use the ACSI.  Over 70 U.S. Federal Government agencies measure more than 120 programs/services using the ACSI.  The survey is conducted by CFI Group under a contract with the Department of Treasury's Federal Consulting Group, Executive Agent in government for the ACSI.  Department of Treasury works with OMB to ensure adherence to applicable Federal regulations such as the Privacy Act and the Paperwork Reduction Act.

Survey Questions Challenge is to cover the The survey contains comment fields and three types of questions:  Rating questions for the ACSI and EOSDIS models  Non-modeled rating questions  Demographic questions A series of questions are asked for each of the 5 elements of the EOSDIS model:  Product search  Product satisfaction  Delivery  Product quality  Customer support CFI’s methodology quantifiably measures and links satisfaction levels to performance and prioritizes actions for improvement.

Survey Questions Questions need to keep up with changing technology  Refine, add, eliminate questions  But keep the model the same Survey has changed slightly each time  The standard questions measuring satisfaction are the same  2008 survey was shorter Questions need to keep up with changing technology  Refine, add, eliminate questions  But keep the model the same Survey has changed slightly each time  The standard questions measuring satisfaction are the same  2008 survey was shorter The challenge is to keep the survey short enough so users are willing to respond, yet long enough to reflect the complexity of the data and understand the needs of the diverse user community.
