1. MEMBERSHIP SATISFACTION REVIEW THE RESULTS

2. INTRODUCTION This evening’s presentation: Feedback the assessment results; Ask for your opinions and views; Make the Prize Draw for the £50 worth of Marks and Spencer Vouchers.

3. PERFORMANCE DRIVERS – THE ELEMENTS THAT MAKE A GOOD CHAMBER OF COMMERCE LSCC considers A ‘Best in Class’ Chamber of Commerce should be offering these six elements: 1. Add status to a business or organisation; 2. Be well run and competent; 3. A good information gateway; 4. Organise meaningful educational and social events; 5. Organise worthwhile trade visits: 6. Initiate good networking opportunities.

4. METHODOLOGY Used an assessment tool powered by artificial intelligence rather than the traditional ‘yes, maybe, no’ type survey because it gives a bigger picture plus: Using statements rather than questions is a more accurate method because it encourages ‘opinion led’ thinking; LSCC wanted to benchmark against the six performance drivers so it helps to keep the improvements focused rather than just produce statistics; LSCC wanted to know their strengths and weaknesses and then monitor their performance progress; LSCC wanted their members to be the focus of their performance improvements.

5. METHODOLOGY ALL members were e-mailed; 94% opened the email (open rate); Industry average 1-2% 28% completed assessment (click through). Industry average 5-15%

6. METHODOLOGY Respondents were split into three groups according to how long they have been members: Less than one year; More than one year; More than two years. WHY? Some statements were only appropriate for a particular group; Understand the real gaps between the different groups; Review any specific issues for the individual groups; The largest differences between the groups and they are likely to be the most significant problem areas.

7. METHODOLOGY Scores < 30% - Get your act together 30% – 35% - You can do better 35% – 45% - Getting there 45% - 60% - Better than most > 60% - You’re simply the best! AND WHAT DOES PERFECTION LOOK LIKE?
