Welcome to the NZICA Certificate in Strategic Skills Survey.
This survey is open to a select group of people who have completed the Developing Integrated Business Strategy seminars through NZICA. SymComm is seeking their views about a new programme being developed in conjunction with NZICA, which aims to extend the role of accountants to that of trusted business strategy advisers. This survey should take about 20 minutes to complete.
Some questions are optional, but those marked with a * symbol are compulsory. There are between 23 and 27 questions to answer, depending on your response to certain questions. It is very important for us to understand your views.
Your survey responses will be stricly confidential and data from this research will be reported only in the aggregate. If you have questions at any time about the survey or the procedures, you may contact Pete Mazany or BeeChoo Tee on 09 525 7838 or by email at the email address specified below.
Thank you very much for your time and support. Please start with the survey now by clicking on the Continue button below.
