Site Index project:

The Site Index First Survey Highlights

Focused on the economy:

Fully 78% of customers have had senior management become more involved in the decision making.

Half thinking the industry will recover in less than two years, and half believing that it will take more than two years.

Only 13% believe that cancelations will increase.

It seems that most people are interested in the economy and how to calculate or define the appropriate way to measure and report the success of a program
