Starting our E20 research activities

As we have already experienced in the discussions at E20 SUMMIT Frankfurt there is only little knowledge about the state of E20 projects in Europe. We want to change this – with this blog, the related events and now some research initiatives. As I am a passionate researcher by heart (that was my obsession before I entered the event organization sphere!) I have set up a first shot – questioning the external perspective of the state of E20 with a research on E20 consultants. And as we are preparing the E20 FORUM / Paris I am starting the research by limiting it towards a French but also Belgium perspective.

So here we go – behind the following URL below you find a Google form with some questions about the state of E20.

I would like to encourage every French consultant (from the one-man-show towards the members of the big consultancy firms) to take part in this research. The conducted data will handled anonymously. The research is set up as an open source project – so we will share all the results from the research and grant free access to the results to everybody after closing it.

Please retweet, re-post and spread the word to everybody. We need at least a 100 returned forms to be somehow valid and representative.

In order to assure the authenticity of the answers we have built in a little hurdle for the participation. Though we do not relate your answers to your person we want to know who is taking part and what is his/her background. Therefore we ask you to request a “research ID” at research (at) n – sight (dot) de that is queried in the last question on the questionnaire. Only the returned forms with a identified “research ID” will be counted!

UPDATE / Feb 02: In order to give you an incentive to take part in the survey we’d like to announce a raffle of 2 free tickets to the E20 FORUM / Paris among all participants of the survey by Feb 15th.
