Are you one of the 400
« on: February 07, 2012, 10:20:48 PM »
Did you get the email today from the PGDB talking about the "random" 400 stakeholders that will be contacted by NBR to give opinons on the service levels etc.  If anyone on this forum is selected it would be interesting to know what the questions are like and what feedback was given.  How big a sample is 400 amongst the stake holders.  Presumably this group is license holders and may extend to industry groups and perhaps consumers?  I wonder how much it costs?  I would have thought the Board were getting plenty of feedback on their services at the current time.  Maybe they don't understand what we are saying to them....

There's nothing like paying out several thousand dollars to get opinions - then type them up in a "report" and suddenly they gain validity.  At the moment we can all have an opinion - either for free via email, or with a 60 cent stamp!  We could save the Board thousands of dollars and do NBR out of a job by simply sending in a letter outlining what we like and what we don't.  Perhaps people could come up with some ideas and we could post a poll on here and give the results to the Board....

hi guys, yes we would have all received survey notice, they say:-

We are committed to improving our communication with the industry and are seeking to measure the level of satisfaction registered tradespeople have with the range of services that we provide. We want to make sure that we are delivering what you need in the most cost-effective way possible.

well i say disband the board and leave us alone and save $5000000 of our money,cheers

The 400

Will they make a movie about this?  They did with 300 Spartans that got slaughtered.

The 400 stood bravely and stated what they thought only to be misquoted and blamed later.

LOL

yea i have never recieved an e-mail..guess im not one of the 400. My money is on that they get 400 reviews from people sympathetic with the board and its dictatorship like actions..there's no way they will put it out to randoms in industry and even if they did they will warp results in there favour after the fact.

Hi Steveplumb

What type of questions did they ask?

Can you put up any specific questions?

Cheers
