CompositesWorld and Gardner Intelligence are announcing the launch of the 2024 CW Top Shops survey. With a fresh approach tailored to meet the needs and time constraints of industry professionals, this year’s survey is designed to offer participants the benefits of benchmarking and recognition without overwhelming them with an exhaustive list of questions.
Recognizing the value of composites fabricator’s time, Gardner Intelligence has revamped the survey structure for 2024. The core questions, constituting 50% of the survey, are tailored to provide valuable insights to the majority of participants. Moreover, the remaining questions are organized into modules, enabling participants to choose specific areas of interest to explore further. Whether it’s profiling, operations, technology, business strategy or human resources, participants have the flexibility to select modules based on their business priorities.
Respondents are encouraged to complete the core survey by April 30, 2024 at this link to receive their personalized benchmarking report and to qualify for a chance to achieve 2024 Top Shops status and be recognized as an honoree. Take a look at the 2023 honorees reported by CW here.
To further your personalized report results and increase your chances of becoming an honoree, participants can opt-in to modules of additional benchmarking questions following the core survey, delving deeper into specific aspects of their operations.
Why participate?
Composites fabricators that participate in the CW Top Shops benchmarking program receive a customized report showing how their responses compare to other facilities. This allows participants to better assess strengths and weaknesses, and to determine areas for future improvement. In addition, companies that rank in the top 20% of scores are recognized with the title of CW Top Shop and are featured in a print issue of the CW magazine and on compositesworld.com.
