This site offers a quick user survey, which was closed on 4 May 2009.
The results remain valid and can be downloaded here.
They have been brought to the attention of the WG SR Leadership Team, right away.
Key findings are:
- The claim, that the guidance in ISO 26000 is applicable to all organizations regardless of their type, size and location (as stated in its scope) does not seem realistic; particularly micro organizations (up to 10 persons) deny the applicability.
- The claim, that all core subjects are relevant to all organizations does not seem to reflect practical terms. Especially micro and small organizations (up to 50 persons) deny this.
- The smaller the organization and the more local its operation, the less useful
ISO 26000 is considered.
The rest of this page is kept only for the records.
As mentioned in section “CD1 as of 2008-12” the current draft is based on experiences and perspectives of members of the ISO Working Group. A user survey did not take place, yet.
This one now intends to collect as much feedback as possible from organizations of any type, size or location. The results will help further improve the ISO 26000 Guidance Standard.
As visitor of this website you are kindly invited to participate. Your opinion is important! Answering the 8 questions does not cost you more than 5 minutes.
Please participate!
