10 Structural Strategy General Survey Focused Follow-up The point is to map satisfaction and priorities and keep costs low in three ways: Avoid wasted time and resources of detailed research conducted on areas that do not need it Avoid the opportunity cost of a priority missed because you have too much data Focus resources on follow-up projects or research only in key areas identified in the general survey 28 CobaltCommunityResearch.org Who is involved: American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) Only national indicator of customer satisfaction Deep experience in satisfaction measurement Measures 40 industries Covered sectors account for 66% of the U.S. economy Well respected in scholarly and business literature Quarterly findings are widely covered in the media For more information, see 29 CobaltCommunityResearch.org ACSI Scores National, Sector, Industry Source: Local Government 66 Federal Government 71 Public Public Administration/ Government E-Business News & Information 76 Portals 79 Search Engines Airlines 65 U.S. Postal Service 71 Express Delivery 83 Newspapers 63 Motion Pictures 73 Network/Cable TV News 69 Computer Software 74 Fixed Line Telephone Service 70 Wireless Telephone Service 66 Cellular Telephones 70 Cable & Satellite TV 63 Hospitals 74 Transportation & Warehousing Information Health Health Care Care & Social Social Assistance Manufacturing/ Nondurable Goods Goods Utilities Utilities Retail Retail Trade Trade Food Manufacturing 84 Soft Drinks 83 Pet Food 82 Breweries 76 Athletic Shoes 78 Cigarettes 84 Personal Care & 80 Apparel Cleaning Products 72 Energy Utilities 74 Supermarkets 69 Gasoline Stations 75 Department & Discount Stores 74 Specialty Retail Stores 76 Health & Personal Care Stores Hotels 75 Limited-Service Restaurants 77 Accommodation & Food Food Services Services Finance Finance & Insurance Banks 75 Life Insurance 68 Health Insurance 78 Property & Casualty Insurance Personal Computers 77 Electronics (TV/VCR/DVD) 80 Major Appliances 81 Automobiles & Light Vehicles 81 Manufacturing/ Durable Durable Goods Goods E-Commerce Retail 78 Auctions 76 Brokerage 77 Travel 30 CobaltCommunityResearch.org

12 Case Study City of North Maple s Cobalt Citizen Satisfaction survey showed that citizens had low satisfaction with the police department a big driver of overall satisfaction The City prioritized action in this area. They talked to police officers, held focus groups, and reviewed best practices of communities that scored strongly on the survey The police department used the information to make process changes and share more information with the public The conversations helped the department improve operations and reduce costs by $50,000 The following year, North Maple confirmed their effectiveness through the Cobalt Survey: Satisfaction jumped for both the police department and the community overall 34 CobaltCommunityResearch.org Value Proposition for Local Governments Raise citizen trust in in your local government and build active support Support allocation decisions Identify citizens priorities and the services they value Identify areas for improving quality of service Citizen Satisfaction Predict how your actions affect satisfaction and behavior Set baseline for citizen satisfaction Share best practices in in government Focus staff on core mission 35 CobaltCommunityResearch.org Conclusion Participating with the non-profit coalition gives local governments a highly credible, proven tool By pooling information, local governments can learn from others who are producing superb results both reducing costs and improving satisfaction Provides aggregate data to support regional/statewide strategic planning and policies wsaintamour@cobaltcommunityresearch.org 36 CobaltCommunityResearch.org
