Survey

Courtesy of Jonny Bentwood, this will be a good start – interested to see the results…

Some nice questions, but I think missing some of the focus I and others mentioned earlier around the ‘type’ of analyst being taken into account.

Let’s come up with enough questions to do our own survey…

How do we tell them apart?

This is great. More comments than I expected – word must be getting around…

My planned post for today has been preceded by the comments, which is cool!

So – “How do we tell them apart”

How we categorise? How do we separate Gartner from Freeform? How do we rank? What will the MQ for Analysts look like?

Gerry raises some points about the different ‘types’ of analysts (numbers, report-writers, advisory) – end-users get confused which one they need.

Should we flag the white-paper-for-hire boys? (I think yes)

Shall we start by giving our thoughts on the IIAR list?

Answers on a postcard…
