User Survey Lack of information about what users like and dislike about Citizen Space. Similar surveys carried out for key corporate systems. Conducted for the first time in 2016, 2nd Survey ran in March 2017. I started in this role in Jan 2016 and my first project was to review what I was going to do.

Key results- usage 60% of users think that Citizen Space helps them to work more efficiently and data from Citizen Space has helped them to improve services. Users tended to use Citizen Space once every 1 to 3 months.

Key results- challenges Lack of training and lack of time identified as biggest challenges. Analysing results was the most difficult CS feature to use, and the most popular topic for further training.

Key results- satisfaction
