when working on surveys for a large school district, i heard it all. we don’t trust you with our survey data. what did you do with last year’s survey? this survey takes too long. what am i supposed to do with this survey data? often when these responses arise, it’s due to poor survey design, poor follow through, and a less-than-authentic approach – all of which can erode trust and lead to unsupported claims.
