[Deptheads] Re: Feedback Seminar

[Karl Kreder]

My experience as an IT professional who has worked for departments that love
to online feed back forms is that everyone who gets one in the mailbox will
ignore it.  Only those who really, really care are going to fill it out and
they are usually people that go to the feedback seminars anyways.

The IT department I used to work for was happy if we got 2-3 responses a
month after sending out 300-500 requests to fill out a feedback form.

They seem easy and clean but for some reason everyone would rather go to the
people they are comfortable with (friends or family) and tell them what they
thought about the con then tell us.  I am sure their is some psychology text
somewhere the discusses this phenomenon in detail but I don't know it.

My two cents...

sort of a tired feeling.
