- Big Freelancer Survey – reporting (JU/AC/PCJ)
We now have all the data and are working through it. We are going to do a report with the ‘rapid data’ showing percentages etc of the answers
A second report will be formed using the wider data to ‘tell the story of where we are.’
The rapid data should be used by anyone and everyone for quick data points.
We will need help going through the main bulk of the feedback data as there is ‘an embarrassment of riches.’
- ABTT Show (JU)
Just under a month to go.
Pencils and badges ordered.
Peter has some details about the stand in order to ‘make it pretty.’
We may need to source our own TV.
Who wants to come down and be on the stand? Open invite.
