TASK 2.2 Feedback & Refining Draft 1 of QSES Survey

JE Jamil Ebrahim-Ahomed Public Seen by 172

The purpose of this thread is to give Navigators an opportunity to review and comment on the first draft of the Queensland Social Enterprise Stand-up (QSES) Survey which we are creating on Survey Monkey. We’ve adapted your feedback, looked through the FASES and 2019 Scotland census to create the draft 1 survey (see the attached PDF).

The QSES survey is designed to have two parts:
- PART 1 Stand Up and Be Counted
- PART 2 Stand Up and Be Heard

We ideally want PART 1 to take no more than 5 minutes and PART 2 to take around 20-25 minutes.

CALL TO ACTION: Please review the attached survey and provide feedback.
Are we missing questions?
What can we delete?
What should be amended?

Feedback needs to be returned by weekend of 5 July.

Maybe the first question should ask does your enterprise deliver social and/or environmental outcomes

Maybe Question 10 - First choice - To Full fill a public NEED or community benefit . I feel some organisations are there to fulfil a need not just benefit, but it can be implied
I wonder if in question 18 we can have - Deliver pro- bono/ additional services to people experiencing disadvantage .
Question 30 - Wont be applicable to some SEs. Can we maybe add a N/A choice. Question 31 can be related or independent of 30.
Hope this helps, wonder job team :)

SESP Survey Ready to Launch! Closed Tue 16 Jul 2019 2:02AM

Outcome
by Rena Frohman Tue 16 Jul 2019 2:13AM

The results of the Loomio & email poll have been counted. We have 15 APPROVES from Loomio and 3 from emails. The PMT will now edit the online survey one more time to ensure all feedback has been addressed. We aim to officially launch the State of Impact (2019) on Thursday through Loomio and email.

Thank you for your continued support for the Social Enterprise Stand-up Project.

Thank you for your feedback to date. We incorporated your comments and suggestions in our collective Working Bee.

This vote is asking Navigators to approve the launch and dissemination of this survey to the Social Enterprise sector across Queensland.
The poll closes on Tuesday the 16th of July at noon.
You can APPROVE, ABSTAIN, DISAGREE, or BLOCK. If you disagree or block you will need to provide a justification for your vote to which the PMT will respond by CoB 17 July. If a majority disagree, we will review the survey and postpone the launch.

If the majority of Navigators agree with the poll and no one has BLOCKED, the following steps will be taken:
1. The survey will be made available through a Survey Monkey link and disseminated through Loomio & emails.
2. The PMT will ask Navigators to share the survey with their networks.
Please remember that this data will be held by QSEC and shared with Yunus Centre at Griffith University.

I'm not sure all social enterprises or for purpose enterprises will be comfortable with the level of financial information we are requesting. Is that optional? If they don't want to share that part, it would still be valuable to get them to fill in other parts of the survey. Also, in the question on impact measurement, we have SROI or custom. That seems like a weird spread given the types of tools that are now out there and are used more frequently than SROI these days. I'd also be interested to know how they benchmark their impact. Do they map against sustainable Development Goals, for example. And I'm not sure we should be asking for an ABN. If we are collecting ABNs and financial data etc, I feel like we need some serious systems to protect that data. How exposed are we in collecting it and not protecting it? What happens if there is a breach, are we insured? Other than all that, the survey looks good.

Hi Sandy,
1. The survey asks for financial data but it is not compulsory to answer this question. It is asked in all of the other surveys from Scotland and FACES. It will be used to benchmark the value created. QSEC plans on sending this survey out annually to track the sector's progress.
2. SROI is used in a general context here, but I take your point. There are tools like social accounting, SDG's and Swinburne's SERT we could include here. It would be great if you could let us know of others that are regularly used by social enterprises too, and we could include them in this question.
3. The ABN question has been brought up several times. It was agreed at our working bee yesterday to keep it in.
4. Security of data is paramount. QSEC intends to hold the data in-trust with the Yunus Centre at Griffith University (which will apply all the usual university-standard protocols around data security).
Hope that help @sandyblackburnwrig :)

That does help Emma-Kate. Thanks. In terms of other impact measurement approaches, we could also list IRIS and Impact Management Program as two key global approaches, along with SDG's and then locally the other tools are also CSI's Compass, Social Suite, community Insights etc. And its good to know about using the Yunus Centre for data. I think we should say that to give comfort. And with the ABN, I'm assuming that's an optional one as well. As long as those kind of things are optional, I think its OK.

Thank you @sandyblackburnwrig and @emmakaterose for these suggestions and guidance. We will ensure that the FINAL survey monkey version that is launched next week addresses these important points. @jamilebrahimahomed and @crystalwilliams1
