Opinions shape and are shaped by perceptions of the past, the present and the future. Measuring opinions can provide insight into the mindset and outlook of your industry, profession or customers.
Quote of the moment: “Everyone who receives the protection of (a) society owes a return for the benefit.” – John Stuart Mill, 1859	Accurately measuring opinions about your organization and its existing products and services (i.e., trade show(s), publication(s), annual meeting, web site, accreditation program(s), issues advocacy, etc.) can help inform important strategic organizational decisions. Well-designed surveys elicit clear, candid objective data that goes well beyond anecdotal information gleaned through interaction with a handful of member/customers/clients. Such data can help your organization break out of the “squeaky wheel” rut and can make the case for meaningful, needed change.
	Measuring opinions can also provide invaluable information on how your sector or your customers view the current situation, the next quarter or the next year. Think of it as your custom-made confidence index.
