SurveyVista’s unique functionality and ease of design allows us to generate reports that assign scores to specific professors or even specific case studies on each programme.

At Timoney Leadership Institute we organise high-powered leadership programmes for top executives from Ireland and the UK who are keen to inspire and to make a lasting positive difference for the people they work with, the organisations they serve, and society as a whole.

Our programmes have grown in quality and strength thanks to the feedback received from alumni and participants at programmes and courses.

Why SurveyVista?

As an institute hosting demanding executives, we need to accurately assess the performance of our faculty, including professors from prestigious schools like Harvard and IESE, as well as guest speakers. By using SurveyVista, we’ve streamlined our feedback process, allowing us to rank faculty and evaluate individual case studies across different programs.

We manage all our events through Salesforce, and SurveyVista integrates seamlessly into this environment, enabling us to send customized surveys to participants before, during, and after each event. This integration ensures we capture critical insights and maintain the high caliber of our offerings.

Scoring and Reporting: Detailed Performance Metrics and Insights

SurveyVista’s unique functionality and ease of design allows us to generate reports that assign scores to specific professors and case studies for each program. These insights have been crucial in selecting faculty for future events and identifying areas to refine.

On the questionnaires we design with SurveyVista, out of the great variety of questions the app offers, we elicit responses mostly with Rating questions (for faculty and case studies or talks), and with radio-questions (chose one of several options) to which we assign specific scores.

For instance, a professor might score 4.7 from 5 as an average of the scores she receives from all the respondents at a particular event for her three sessions; yet she might have scored only 4.2 at a similar event the previous month. That way we can compare numerically between courses and between faculty members and speakers.

Advanced Survey Distribution: Custom Objects and Flexible Sending Options

We truly value the flexibility SurveyVista offers for sending surveys—whether to email addresses (with anonymous responses), Salesforce Contacts, or our own staff (Users) for internal course feedback.

What stands out most is the ability to send surveys to custom objects linked to a contact’s email. This has been invaluable, allowing us to target participants registered for events, webinars, or courses directly via the registration custom object. No other Salesforce-integrated survey tool we’ve tested provides this level of versatility.
