PERFORMANCE DRIVERS – THE ELEMENTS THAT MAKE A GOOD CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

LSCC considers A ‘Best in Class’ Chamber of Commerce should be offeringthese six elements:

1. Add status to a business or organisation;

2. Be well run and competent;

3. A good information gateway;

4. Organise meaningful educational and social events;

5. Organise worthwhile trade visits:

6. Initiate good networking opportunities.

METHODOLOGY

Used an assessment tool powered by artificial intelligence rather than the traditional ‘yes, maybe, no’ type survey because it gives a bigger picture plus:

• Using statements rather than questions is a more accurate method because it encourages ‘opinion led’ thinking;

• LSCC wanted to benchmark against the six performance drivers so it helps to keep the improvements focused rather than just produce statistics;

• LSCC wanted to know their strengths and weaknesses and then monitor their performance progress;

• LSCC wanted their members to be the focus of their performance improvements.

METHODOLOGY

ALL members were e-mailed;

94% opened the email (open rate); Industry average 1-2%

28% completed assessment (click through). Industry average 5-15%

METHODOLOGY

Respondents were split into three groups according to how long they have been members:

• Less than one year;• More than one year;• More than two years.

WHY?

• Some statements were only appropriate for a particular group;

• Understand the real gaps between the different groups;

• Review any specific issues for the individual groups;

• The largest differences between the groups and they are likely to be the most significant problem areas.

METHODOLOGY

Scores

< 30% - Get your act together

30% – 35% - You can do better

35% – 45% - Getting there

45% - 60% - Better than most

> 60% - You’re simply the best!

BY GROUP

LARGE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN GROUPS ARE ALARM BELLS THAT IMPROVEMENTS NEED TO BE MADE.

STATEMENTS THAT INDICATE THE NEED FOR IMPROVEMENT

DISCUSSION POINTS AND POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS

• Offer more opportunities for members to sell products and services eg Business Club meetings and luncheons;

• Induction package for new members that introduces them to other members and the resources available;

• Newsletter – helps all members to keep up-to-date with business news and learn more about each other;

• Need to keep things fresh and continually add value.
